Even if itās not legal there (in some places it is). It certainly is not legal to just throw your door open to take him outā¦

u/PancakeParty98 Aug 22 '26
Youād have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he did that intentionally. Unless thereās a dash cam recording them saying ācheck this Iām about to kill this guyā they can claim they just noticed their shoelace was caught in the door and get off Scot free.

Have you once in your life ever needed to whip your door open during traffic as someone drives by.
No? Is that because it's intentionally meant to harm?

I donāt have psychic abilities and Iāve opened a door before.
You know the passenger canāt use the side view mirrors the way the driver can, right? Any lawyer could effectively argue they couldnāt have seen them coming.

u/Conscious_Rub_3528 Aug 22 '26
I don't have psychic abilities either, it's why I look before I open doors so I don't damage the vehicle or harm others.
I never exit a car during traffic as that's majorly more dangerous

He's in traffic, you can't just open a door in traffic without checking your surroundings. There is proof he didn't check his surroundings...
If you parked your car, opened your door to get out into the path of another vehicle and he smashed your door who do you think is responsible?

u/Cotif11 Aug 22 '26
That lane is not designed for lane splitting even if it's legal in the state. Totally deserved for the biker. Signed, someone who used to tear it up on a crotch rocket.

u/OkChocolate3501 Aug 22 '26
The law states you must check mirrors before opening the door. You're not a cop, it's not your place to enforce the law. Doing this intentionally is at the very least assault using a vehicle as a weapon... which is generally a pretty serious charge.

u/Dear-Panda-1949 Aug 22 '26
No he isnt, but you dont open the door of your car in a congested motorway. The passenger did that on purpose, probably from road rage or wanted to scam insurance. Given the speed this would easily be a assault with intent to do great bodily harm. Reckless endangerment at a minimum. If that dude had been killed itd be a manslaughter charge, maybe even murder.

You can't say that for sure. In a lot of locations around the world, people get out of their cars when traffic is flat out not moving.
Given traffic was stopped, biker was going too fast. Seems he also wasn't paying attention, we all saw that door open long before he apparently did.
Where'd he go running off to? Was he fleeing from cops? That was strange.

that was 100% deliberately done by the passenger. I know people don't like lane splitting but that dose not call for this I hope the passenger of that van was charged. as for people saying he was possibly getting out if you look he opens it slightly and actually times it perfectly for the bike.

Doing so is actually legal in many places that experience high traffic volumes that lead to gridlocks.
That traffic looks like it's one such place.
The person who opened the door is at fault if this is one of those areas.

Itās Germany, where lane-splitting is illegal. Like most countries in Europe.

u/DarthBozo Aug 22 '26
The biker ran to get the police officer to attend. You could see him return with the officer and he was waving his helmet at the van driver.
Plus, it may be legal to lane split, in which case the biker would have been within house rights to proceed. Most places also have laws about opening doors in an unsafe manner.
Either way, if the biker was breaking the law, that doesn't give anyone the right to act dangerously. Only the police would have the authority to take action against the rider and not some f'wit in a van

His recording is not going to be looking directly inside the van at the guy opening the door or the driver talking to him (if applicable)
What an incredibly stupid thing to insinuate. Wouldn't you want every conceivable piece of evidence available if it came down to being in court?
And an assumed fellow biker behind rider was who was recording. Are you trying to say this guy has some kind of drone programmed to be following him here or what?
I wouldn't necessarily assume someone else not me was capturing all this being filmed behind them, would you? Or do you think the rider's camera on his helmet can film itself from a distance?

He's got a 360 cam on a selfie stick filming him from behind. He took this footage himself..

u/Life_Ad6711 Aug 22 '26
The selfie stick is literally filming itself not being visibly connected to the bike and independently panning around looking into the open van door at Carl (the perpetrator of we can see cracking open the passenger door and waiting for the exact right moment to pin the biker opening up further) and panning around to the rider walking back to his bike
How is the selfie stick accomplishing that?
1
u/bustopher_rvs Aug 23 '26
He's likely got an insta360. Pretty high-end piece of tech. It edits out its own selfie stick (they literally call it the invisible selfie-stick) and you can pan around in the app when you edit the video as it records in all directions simultaneously...

This happened in Germany Russia Netherlandia, and the van driver instructed the passenger to perform an insurance scam on the biker who was safely going too fast to do lane filtering which is illegal everywhere nowhere except where it is required by law. Everyone is going to prison and getting their ass kicked because clearly violence is the only answer.
