Watch this car / motorcycle ROAD RAGE insanity!!

[normzone]

Wow. Well, all of the above comments are spot on, but you have to admit it's not often a motorcyclist can chalk up two car "kill" decals on the fairing.

I'll bet the rider is sweating it now ....

2. He was aware of the biker, chose to cut him off, and then chose to retaliate. And I'm leaning towards this because of the voracity of the swerve.

Yes, the biker still made a bad choice - but not NEARLY as bad as the person who chose to either get behind the wheel in that condition or swerve at him and try to kill him.

  We are in agreement Kev....So it must be the truth

Like everyone has said previously...people need to learn to just "chill out"...and this entire incident could have...and should have been totally avoided....

There is no place for road rage if you are on a motorcycle.  An encounter with a crazy cage driver is a common occurrence and dealing with it is just part of the deal.

You're correct. I always think " if it's not worth following them to their destination and ensuring that they require an ambulance after they get out of the car, it's not worth getting upset about "

   More, what's seen in the video is the biker kick the car, then the car driver swerves to knock down the bike but loses control ,hits  the wall bounces off and rebounds into the larger vehicle causing it to roll over...In my mind, the biker was a fool, the car driver then retaliates and HE directly causes the chain reaction wreck...Although both bike and car are at fault, the car driver had the option not to engage but did so causing a a worse situation...

yep

Last week I was riding north with two friends passed through Walla Walla Idaho, went through a small town at 30 miles per hour, leaving Town two lanes heading up a fairly steep grade, the left hand lane is going to end a couple hundred yards ahead, in the left hand lane a F350 pulling an empty goose neck trailer, all three bikes move to the right and safely pass the truck / trailer going up hill and then well before the lane ends signal to the left lane.

Guy in the truck lays on the horn and just pounds on it. He follows us through some steep and twisty roads for a good twenty minutes, he tries to catch us on every straight and we are by now doing 80 mph on a 60 mph road to get away from this nut.

We see a rest stop and decide to pull in for a nature stop and as we get off our bikes we notice a State Trooper is parked behind the bathrooms. Just then the mad man with truck and trailer is hammering it down to make the turn into the rest stop but at the last minute he sees the patrol car and swerves back into his north bound lane and takes off.

We didn't say anything to the Trooper, took a rest and then carried on, we never saw the truck driver again.

We got to thinking this guy is seriously pissed that we passed him fully legal with no disrespect and he was prepared to come into the rest stop and confront three guys on bikes. What if was packing a fire arm? How would that have turned out?

You just never know who you are dealing with.

My personal belief is that the entire US, and probably the world, has gone totally freaking nuts. I recently started a new job and get to drive 24 miles of freeway from my house to the new job (Sammamish to Bothell, Wa). The level of insanity on the road actually scares the crap out of me. I am actually re-assured when the maroon is 'just' talking on their phone.. I think the mature female in the quad cab, long bed 4x4 doing 80 in the left general purpose lane playing a frigging game on a large format phone\tablet probably takes the cake. Fortunately I have found an alternate route that keeps me off the freeway and is much safer and just a bit slower.

So the bike\car incident, though really bad, is getting to be too normal in the modern era. I am glad the guy in the truck is supposed to be ok. If karma happens, both maroons in this situation would get theirs in spades.

My daily commute involve a stretch of the NYS Thruway, and getting cut off, being forced out of my lane, and generally just not being seen happens all the time. While I will, on occasion, make my presence known, so the car driver knows he's made a mistake, I try to do it in a spirit of forgiveness and education.

[Sigh.] I wish I could be deputized so I could ticket cagers and riders while riding my Norge... I've asked a prosecutor friend of mine and spoken with LEO acquaintances, but it is just not doable...

Fortunately, cagers notice my police-bike-white Norge, especially when I am coming up fast behind them. Just the other day, another motorist pulled over and stopped when he saw my turn signal behind him as I was about to exit the "freeway."

Civility is lacking.

I might agree with you if the reports weren't that the car had cut the biker off earlier, which in my mind means there are 2 possibilities here:

1. The car really didn't see him, was startled as you put it, but is dangerously incompetent.

or

2. He was aware of the biker, chose to cut him off, and then chose to retaliate. And I'm leaning towards this because of the voracity of the swerve.

Look at it this way, I mean, we've all been startled and react, but if someone is SO STARTLED that they then swerve SO SEVERELY they lose control, they should not be on the road, I mean REALLY REALLY shouldn't be driving ever they are completely incapable of dealing with their environment. And I really doubt someone is THAT bad, that completely incapable of handling their car that a thump makes them completely lose control, resulting in a t-bone and roll of another vehicle.

No, I am as certain as one can possibly be without interviewing the suspects and witnesses that it was intentional or he had no business driving a car in the first place.

Yes, the biker still made a bad choice - but not NEARLY as bad as the person who chose to either get behind the wheel in that condition or swerve at him and try to kill him.

Regardless of what happened earlier I would have given that driver all the apace I needed for both of us to be safe. For me the only thing that matters is that I get home safel  and in one piece, no need to win the battle. The wise old rider knows when to retreat, often foolish riders don't live long enough to gain that wisdom.

Speaking as a retired LEO, if this investigation would have been assigned to me, two charges would have been made. The cyclist would have been charged with MIP, malicious injuries to property and possibly assault with motor vehicle. The driver in the car would be charged with assault with a deadly weapon intending to inflict serious injury.

and.....there you have it.

Yep, that was exactly my take above .... !

The Nissan cage driver is the one who deserves removal of their gonads with a rusty butter knife.  Weak excuse of flashing of a knife. WTF is the potential harm to a cage by a rider who may (or may not) have 'flashed a knife' ? The rider may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but the Nissan driver is the one who, by trying to cut off the bike, caused the white truck to roll over.

Must have been Chuck Norris on the bike. Kicked the car off the road. Wow! 😉
