    Predictable enough....

    Mind you, if that rider had more sex (and not the solo action kind) then he'd be a bit more mellow??
    So maybe his girlfriend is to blame? Come to think of it...she might be the inflatable kind haha

    Seriously, why pick a fight with a 2 ton hunk of metal?

    I can't honestly say I wouldn't do the exact same thing if I was in a car with my family and some prick and his asshole biker buddies decided to pick a fight with me over some bullshit percieved act of aggression.
    Yea, it all seems over the top on the part of the biker (although the video starting in the middle of it suggests we don't know the whole story, but given the biker has the camera he probably did something to start it and just edited it out if the video), but I would never ram a bike, there are a few videos on YouTube where a small altercation ends in a biker getting rammed by a car which is why I'm a little mindful that if an argument goes too far I am the vulnerable one and in most situations I would rather risk a speeding ticket than deal with someone who seems happy to put my life in danger so I just get out of there, a handful of throttle for a couple of seconds is usually enough to get it done anyway.

    i dont get the anger towards cars myself. i mean i have been cut off or had people switch lanes into my space as much as the next guy, but like the above poster said - its only a temporary imposition. i dont take it to heart, i just get the fuck out of their way then disappear.

    Then they never learn from their behaviour, until one day someone dies.

    By all means be angry if it'll make you feel better.

    But short of smiling and waving, there ain't fuckall you can do to change their attitude - if it reaches that stage they already view you as an enemy and good luck fighting fire with a zippo.

    When I'm riding my push bike at least, I have no hesitation in kicking a vehicle with my steel cap boots. I don't care if I damage their vehicle, because if they're operating it in a manner necessitating me to take evasive action to avoid an imminent collision, then they obviously don't care about the safety of anyone else, so why should I care if their car gets a big boot mark in the panels? Hopefully that will teach them to be more careful in the future, potentially saving the life of an innocent person in the future.

    It's a bit more difficult to take such action on a motorbike, as it's less maneuverable and heavier than the push bike.
