Words of wisdom.

 

There's like 3 threads on this already, expect a tow.

 

Scary ****!
My thoughts fwtw
It appears this was triggered by an oblivious driver. I doubt it was intentional but,yeah, adrenaline and blind rage can sure kick in.
I can understand the frustration the biker felt and even the kicking of the passengers side, almost...
At that point they should have dropped it, hell even before then but we all know how road rage can be.
The thing that gets me though is it appears to me that the car intentionally swerved into the bike trapping him between the wall and the car. In my opinion that becomes attempted murder. And there's no excuse for that.
I do feel bad for the Caddy, not so much the car.

 

A moment of patience in a moment of anger can avoid a lifetime of regret.
I am certain all parties involved would do this differently if they had a second chance.

We have all been there, as both parties.
It happens.

Unless the initial moment (not on tape) was a purposeful attack on the rider, this was an accident compounded by egos-- certainly a recipe for disaster. And, an innocent person pays a heavy price. What a drag. Nothing good here. No side is without culpability.

The initially-innocent rider, a victim of a bad lane change by the driver, found a way to make things worse, escalate the situation, and make national news.
Bad choice. Ego tends to do that to us all.

So, the lesson? =
Know when your ego is taking over. Relax.
It is not as bad as you think it is at that moment.
In fact, it's likely just like that time you cut someone off with a bad lane change...
remember that?... oh, yeah, that's right... you've accidentally done it too.

 

The original is much more entertaining....

 

That and this thread title is wrong. That's not a Road Glide. You can clearly see the fairing moving with the handlebars.

 

Saw the guy kicking the door but I can't believe the car then swerved toward him. Thats attempted vehicular homicide.

 

Saw in another forum that witness say the cage driver was hoisting a 40oz and doing the same stuff to other drivers. He moved over on the bike rider earlier and the bike rider jumped over into the HOV lane and sped up to get away. The cage driver accelerated to catch the bike rider.
You can see where the cage driver crossed the double-double yellow lines and moved in on the bike.
This is where the video starts.
