As part of sentencing hopefully the judge required anger management counseling for both.
It took eight months to find him, but the guy on the bike was arrested and charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon, hit-and-run and reckless driving.

See em all the time, just today I was in my truck heading to a small city bout 60 miles from me. Got behind a little car doing about 10 mph less than me and had to ride there for a number of miles on a two lane due to curves and oncoming traffic. I finally get a shot at passing and as soon as I politely put on my left turn signal to pass they speed up. I say frack it. My truck will run like a scalded dog so I pass em anyway and went back to my previously set cruise speed. She road my bumper all the way to the next town.

It was a woman texting as I looked when passing. That really pritzx me off anyway to see a driver texting which I do see all to often. I just let her eat the road spray off the back of my truck since it had been raining. She backed back off after the next little town, probably had another text message to reply to.

My cage is a Crew Cab 1 ton dually, I've had people on the interstate, not paying attention for whatever reason try to occupy the same space as I'm in, a hit of the air horn and they realize their mistake, sometimes they just get back in their lane, but I've had a couple exit the highway stage right and take out trees, signs and other things in their hast back to consciousness.

No way. What an idiot. He didn't even stop for the truck that flipped over.

No and I'm definitely not that guy in the video, I value my bike and my life. I'm no match for a 2 ton vehicle.

Nope, doesn't bother me. If they are going too slow, I want to pass them and leave them behind. If they decide to speed up and leave me behind, so be it because in my mind they both accomplish the same thing, I am back to being able to ride in my own way again but to each their own.

This is simplistic but I wish they would start putting blinkers back on vehicles. I bet 50% of people don't use em. Grinds my ***!
