Biker Road Rages Wrong Car

[Dee]

I got my first bike/motorcycle in 1963. I found out over the years that sometimes cars don't see you, or can't see you, or don't understand what you can, and can't do concerning the bike.
But I also learned that there is a difference between those that ride motorcycles, and bikers.
I learned that when riding a bike, that I had better pay attention to everybody around me. I learned that bikers DEMAND that you pay attention to them.
A little mistake that amounted to nothing, will be blown into a confrontation.
Working on the sales floor for a big Harley Davidson dealership I saw this attitude almost daily.

I have no idea what the driver of this car did, or perhaps didn't do, or if the driver was male, or female. BUT! It's quite obvious what the biker was doing, or at least, trying to do. He could have blown whatever angered him off, and rode on to the house. But he didn't.

Maybe the driver got sick of threatening, maybe he didn't like bikers, maybe he, or she was scared of the bikers aggression.

Whatever the reason, a 750 pound bike, is no match for a 4,000 pound automobile

He certainly picked the "wrong guy" to antagonize and threaten that day, one with a quick silver "flame on" bad attitude. The car driver went to work with one nerve left and danged if the biker ain't got on it.

This incident comes to mind as the antithesis (instantaneous) shooting of the Universal Health Care CEO, but without the malice aforethought.  Some actions for most do not fit everyone. Be careful out there and be nice...

  Of course, we are only getting a portion of the story.  We have no knowledge of what transpired before the video rolled.

  Yes, the biker was imprudent, picking a road dispute with an automobile..but still, the driver should have held his/her cool.

  Two foolish people on the road..looks like the biker already has faced a raw form of "justice'..  I do hope the driver has to face justice,
   since this was obviously no "accident".

  That being said, the biker firing Stupid insults on the road should not lead to serious injury or even possible death.

biker was stupid but in the big picture the van intentionally swerved into him and should be prosecuted and put in jail for attempted murder or at least felony assault. that said as a biker i agree with dee. it doesnt help you when theyre pealing you out of the pavement and possibly taking a trip to the morgue

Amen on all points Lloyd! In Georgia that would be at least be considered Aggravated Assault with Auto.
