Was just about to post this
In truth we don't no what's happened pre-brake check and gestures from the motorcyclist, but there's a reason you ride defensively. Youtube link here http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...Q609E878#at=52

My theory is, the car brake checked the bike first then floored it.

It doesn't look like the cager braked at all (/bothered reacting) so it does seem he expected it to be a bluff or a purposeful move from the biker which he didn't want to 'fall for', but whether that's based on the hand gestures and close riding or some more carry on before we'll probably never know. I just guessed they'd had a run in, maybe some ignorant driving and the biker wanted to have a go - but it is a good demonstration that there's rarely any point in being aggressive on a bike...you're aggression is either wasted and they laugh at the powerranger gesticulating like a mong or if your point does hit home and irritate them...you're easily flattened

Biker is a nob. I don't mean a nob for doing the brake thing (which does definitely make him a nob anyway), but a nob for being retarded and making the assumption that the person behind the wheel was sensible enough (and of sound enough mind) to brake and avoid confrontation.
Biker learnt a valuable lesson. Don't bring a knife to a gun fight! Utter spas.

What ****ed me off, was that the caver checked to see how damaged his car was before going to see whether the biker was even breathing.

That doesn't bother me. Obviously we don't know what happened before, but in any case, the biker escalated the confrontation. I know a lot of people think it's fair to get ****ed off on the road and kick off wing mirrors and stuff, but I am telling you now, you're all **** heads. You're all part of the problem. Grow up. No sympathy for him at all.

c*cks both of them, but mainly the bike. clearly something made the biker do that, likely that he was is the fast lane and he wouldn't move over for the bike, there was no noticeable deceleration on the car.
the biker was a douche for slamming his brakes in front of the car, make the pass and move your a*s on asap in case the cager decides they didnt like the move.

might have something to do with the fact that he was lane hogging for some time without passing anything, the guy on the bike had probably been stuck behind him for ages. Still pretty stupid to brake test at those speeds but in any case both as bad as each other, to me it looked like he purposely tried to cut up the inside of him and didn't back off.
anyway pretty nobish thing to do in a car let alone a bike Last edited by Wideboy; 15-07-13 at 05:20 PM. |

With you on that WB, when he pulled in front of the car he cut in very close and the car even shifted towards the central res, might even have gotten on it but the vid seemed too stable for that.
