I think this is a case of drugs, and or mental illness, rather than road rage...

The rider showed great restraint,made old 'Golly' rethink.

How would you not break that nose ? Just one little jab ???

A head butt while wearing a helmet is more effective - and saves pain in the hands ..

Haha spot on.

The rider showed incredible restraint.

that is the worse case of road rage i have seen - if you going to rage at someone at least know what you are doing.....

When I saw it on farcebizzle the comment was multiple charges pending against the driver. Some of the media who have picked it up have tried to skew it to blame the driver.

Personally I thought Gollum was on the verge of stroking out at one point. Motorcycle guy was far more restrained than I would have been.

My gloves have metal armour in them. If I punched someone in anger wearing them it would fuck them up.

Deja vu. Motorist came at me like that at an intersection a couple of months back after I'd filtered to the front on the cycle lane. Fortunately it was only words that were exchanged but I guess an example of what could have happened. Kudos to the biker for the way he handled himself. I suspect he may be used to restraining people in his work.

If it were me he would've gotten a karate chop to the throat. Very impressed with the chaps' composure.

Good thing he has a witness(camera) that doesnt fall under the He said/She said BS. It'l make the cops jobs much easier :cool:

It seems strange ... no pictures PRIOR to the motorcycle stopping at the intersection ... :scratch:

No doubt Police would be interested seeing such footage. (accidently deleted .. ???) :yes:

But being KB ... there is ONLY one side to (worth listening too/seeing) about this story ... ;)

But (apparently) ... it is OK to take the keys off overseas tourists ... if you think THEIR driving is shit ... (after you get them [somehow] to stop)

The rider was restrained. What he had done was spoken of which was filtering. Probably not legal in that state.

But thats a problem for the police to deal with.

The attacker is lucky the rider was not carrying. He would have been close to his right to defend himself with fatal force.

I believe the attacker faked a medical event once he realized the trouble he was in and that it could be proven.

I reckon that happened at about the time the cruiser rider in the other lane pulled up to offer assistance.

Just read the driver was taken to hospital as he broke his ankle in the fall to the ground.

No mention of the bird on the back giving the car driver the finger then, or the rider kicking the wing mirror on the way past. Without the lead up to the incident there is only one story here. Showing it would have proved the driver was off his head, not showing it when the footage is clearly available does the opposite.

Well as the driver has been arrested and the rider not kinda points to the driver being at blame.

In some places ... assault is taken seriously.

In no way could it mean ... the motorcyclist was blameless in the event.

Sure we don't see how the biker was riding but violence is never the solution and the car driver admitted he was using it as a response to driving behavious

I don't know how someone can watch this and immediately blame the motorcyclist. He even said something like "what because I went between you and another car" to which the driver responds "yeah".

But I can't think of what the motorcyclist could have done to justify such behavior. The motorcyclist showed unbelievable restraint.

It happened in Yuma Arizona. In Arizona it is illegal to split/filter... need I say more?
Doesn't explain the eye popping rage.

You can at several points in the clip see the driver is clearly not thinking straight.
He is not on a fit state to be a judge let alone jury or executioner.

Civilised society had no place for vigilante justice when said justice is issued unjustly.

Whats with all this nonsense analysis of a video clip? lets face facts here, biker's are NEVER in the wrong, not ever.

No one has questioned why there is no video of what happened prior to car mans attack...could it be that, biker's are NEVER in the wrong, not ever.

Agree that the driver's state of mind is questionable...

However, if splitting/filtering is illegal then that could easily be enough to set off the driver's indignation about the biker and his riding.

Yes, the driver's reaction is, to our eyes, probably over-the-top.

However, not that many years ago this would have been settled with a pair of six-shooters.

Are you saying what the motorist did was ok if the bike was in fact (and most likely) lane splitting?

No, I am not condoning the motorist's actions.

However, it may explain the motorist's reaction or over-reaction, a case of the 'final straw that broke the camel's back'.

In Auckland, it is illegal to park in a cycle lane.

Should I be cut some slack for headbutting Len Brown yesterday then?

The car driver is brave to do that in a state which permits concealed carry, as well as open carry, without any CC permit required.

Rightly but more likely wrongly, if some dude shoved my bride like that he'd be eatin a free upsized Night Falcon knuckle sandwich me thinks :2guns: and no..... there wouldn't be any video of it.

My wife would have smashed him over also if she had been shoved. Wouldn't have been video because I would have turned away. The sight of blood horrifies me.

I've had a similar experience, fortunately in a car so not in the position of some fuckwit assaulting the missus and trying to push me and my bike over. Reported the rego to the police and the reply was that he is a known nutjob and they'll go and have a word with him........

Regardless of whatever minor perceived traffic offence occurred, the car driver was a nutjob and deserved everything he got, and was probably lucky he didn't get pushed into traffic for his trouble.

I think my response would have been a hard kick with my steel toe bike boots into his goolies. He'd have been a surviving winner of the Darwin award!

...another example of why HD cameras can be a good thing to have :msn-wink:

I thought the guy did very well in controlling the situation and himself :confused:...and so what if he committed a minor traffic offense, that's no reason at all to commit an assault!
