The only thing he did wrong was leave after one punch. He should of left the guy needing 2 weeks of ICU care and a warning to his family, not to press charges.

Try driving in a metro area. It'll get you so you anticipate idiot drivers. You learn to try and ignore them. Sometimes its hard but its never worth it. Wait till this guy gets a civil suit filed against him. If the car guy starts it then finish it but otherwise phug him and ignore it. You don't have time for it.

Yeah, like when someone threatens your life intentionally, or your family... If you went around punching every moron driver, you'd have little time for anything else.

This is what I'm talking about. Notice I said "sometimes" in my post. I have a feeling what happened here was more than a simple moron driver.

If someone looks like they intentionally tried to hit me, or worse yet, shrug it off as if saying "oh well, get over it", then it's time to educate them.

My guess is that when the biker got his last traffic pinch, he apologized for his mistake and politely thanked the officer for trying to keep the roads safe.

Then he decided that he was going to do his part, but since he didn't have a ticket book, the least he could do was track down an erratic driver and punch him in the face. That'll show em. Thanks Mr Algonquin Biker Man....our roads are much safer now...this Buds for you.

Smif, love your avatar, I might steal it.

when I ride it's like the UFC. I spend more time whoopin' butts than I do ridin'. (and then I wake up)

I don't think that would work for me here in Wyoming, just like in TX. too many guns to be following folks home and poppin' 'em. I know it wouldn't be good for someone to do that to me. follow me home and want to confront, The hemi is armed. and God help them if my wife is riding wtih me.

I've learned that it's too expensive to damage people's property due to altercations or acting like an *** and losing my temper.

I hope the puncher is man enough to apologize to the punchee in court. Otherwise, he's just a douchebag.

Riding smarter than the other drivers is the best medicine.

Ha....the avatar was a quick pic with a lot of photoshop burn tool to black out the cooler chest I left at the end of the driveway.

I see these road rage cases several times a week in the summer. My favorite ones are when the perp runs up at a red light, punches a dude through the drivers window and leaves....Then the victim gets his buddies, blocks the perp in somewhere and kicks the sh*t out of his car. Then the perp calls the cops to report a vandalism.

Perp 1 gets pinched for punching the dude and gets a free paint job and body work to his ride.

Perps 2-8 get pinched for for the vandalism and split the cost of restitution to pay for perp 1's new paint.

The cops laugh, write it up and ring the bell for round 2 on a Friday night in a small town.

I think everyone here can relate to the irate biker; bone head drivers are abundant on the roads and always will be. But there are few here that can relate to the legal troubles and expenses this fellow is getting ready to go through.

Unlike advice, trail lawyers don’t come cheap. For me, there’s too much interaction with the legal men and their “home field” courtrooms to contend with for following someone home and “legally” assaulting them. There is an abundance of sue-happy, get-rich-quick plaintiffs that will arm themselves with unscrupulous legal men and they’re all aiming for one thing: making immediate withdrawals from defendant’s bank accounts and insurers.

Life is too short and money is too tight to be spending time in courtrooms for me.

Besides, why would I want to bring fists to a probable gunfight?
