Would you keep your cool?

I think I may have struggled to keep my cool. Especially after he squealed his tyres and then cut me off. Quite possibly I would have gotten off the bike and met him halfway when I saw the door being opened. Then I probably would have got my ass beat but oh well.

In soviet russia biker angle grinds you!!

Just watched the video again ... several times and can assure you that you did imagine the blinking side light.
A couple of shots of the light before 0.21 - not blinking!
When the guy stops the brake light appears Orange.
Indicator is below this.
This may have been where you got confused. Connected that with the earlier shots of the side indicator - one plus one made three.

Yep the orange light is a side marker (or possibly just a reflector) that doesn't blink. Blinkers are red in the USA.

A similar situation happened to me a few weeks ago. Hotheaded Irish git with girlfriend beside him came up left side, bus lane and cut in front so I went left into bus lane and passed him the re joined lane ahead of him. He did the same and stopped abruptly. I stopped perhaps 5cm from his rear bumper. He rushed towards me and struck me in the chest.
I dismounted my bike and calmly marched him back to his car and, while another motorist joined the debate, telling him he was a cock, persuaded him to fuck off. Never laid a hand on him but I still remember his face and rego.

So yea I would remain calm and I'm considered a hot head. That VW faggot barely warranted a second thought let alone a street fight

You're very level headed, I'd have probably launched at him.

Hahah! The dickhead clearly hurt his hand when he punched the helmet.

I would have gone around him when he stopped and left him to it.

Can I have another turn?

I'd have kept cool alright. Kept looking cool as fuck as I beat the guy to pulp that is.

Sounded better in my head.

I know a guy that would've done a wheelie right over his car. Done it to a VW before you know. And the VW was coming towards him.

Golf Owners.
Punch em all in the face I say. Punch em in the face for no reason at all.

If you live in the US, and you drive a golf - at some point in your life someone should punch you in the face.

Nope... once I have you by the helmet (oooer!) you are pretty much fucked. Stick your helmet on, and pull it about. Now imagine a pissed off person doing that with no thought for your neck.
