Really, you're comparing that kick to a metal door to intentionally hitting an exposed person with a car? No words.

Exactly! It`s more than likely this wouldn`t have escalated if the biker didn`t kick the door at all. Now we have people injured as a result, and the scumbag didn`t even stop. `Hope they find him.......

And away we go.....
The video shows an instant reaction by the cage driver in swerving toward the biker after he kicked the cage. I`d say that the cage driver was very aware of what he was doing, and in no way was having a stroke or other extreme health issue........

The innocents are usually the ones who get hurt. That`s the worst part of road rage........

I lane split almost every day here (yes, it is crazy dangerous!), and just yesterday I was cut-off by a car illegally crossing the double yellow line. Did I kick his car? No. But his windows were down, so I politely told him that next time he should use his turn signals so I have at least some warning.
Like so many of those, did he flip you off or tell to GFY?.......

Click on it, then watch the video. Couple of idiots are gonna be in big trouble, with an innocent old man in the hospital.

Assuming, of course, you don't have a clue what you did to the biker to cause his rage, because your girlfriend was giving you a blow job while you were texting your wife?
Lockjaw could be dangerous in that situation........

Both were idiots but using your car as a weapon? And because someone kicked your door, because you were being an idiot your going to try and kill someone? (News anchor claimed the car cut off the bike) Both need anger management classes, and bus passes

I'm glad I don't have to ride interstates or deal with heavy populations. Country riding is so much more enjoyable.

With all due respect, yes. It was an unnecessary hostile act and the ultimate trigger for the accident. The biker deserves as much punishment as the driver IMHO.

That. Totally unnecessary. We all know an idiot in a car can kill us if they so desire. The last thing i'd want to do is challenge an unstable nut to a duel. Today, you have absolutely NO idea what's driving the car next to you.

What I'm saying is that kicking a car does not justify a car being used as a deadly weapon against an exposed person.

If a kid kicks a parked car while he walking down the street, you're OK with the driver running over the kid? GTFOOH.

That's essentially what would have happened in this case if the car managed to hit the biker.

Why aren't you expressing that same sentiment toward the cager that tried to KILL the biker... GTFOOH.

That's not the important issue here: This is MSF BRC 101 stuff. Rider had the option to avoid all of this...he chose otherwise.
