C. He didn't stay around either.
D. He was a bike rider, not a biker.

The video starts with the MC rider kicking the door of the car. What is not shown, is what happened earlier that caused the MC rider to kick the door of the car.

Now with that said, the car immediately cuts to the left in an effort to make the rider go down. This is not defensive driving, this is offensive driving, using the car as a battle ram.

I will say this rider was pretty good, he stayed upright, missed flying parts from the barrier wall while traveling at freeway speeds.

His side may never be heard or maybe he will have his say in court.

They both made stupid decisions. Could've been very easily avoided. The rider doesn't get a pass, no matter what happened earlier.

But hell of a job avoiding the debris, I'll give him that.

So tell us what happened earlier that caused the motorcyclist to kick the door. I hope you're not implying that he had good reason. Two wrongs don't make a right...

Huh....I didn't see lane splitting happening at all. How'd you get to this conclusion from watching this video?
