After 200 posts in this thread can we agree they are both at fault and both idiots? Even if the car didn't swerve on purpose, he is an idiot for not being able to control his vehicle.

Kind of why I think to myself why I prefer not to live in large, urban, metro areas. All the cool kids might live there, but so do millions of others. Moved out to the sticks, guess I'm staying out here after watching all these videos!!

seems way too stressful to be worth the relatively few moments of bliss, when you are able to channel the "Bronson" inside all of us...Good Luck

Well, thankfully your opinion doesn't matter in relation to the law. Of course you would go after the driver of the car. They hit the other car and caused damage. The bike is nowhere to be found. Insurance companies "go after" everybody, don't they?

Why would the biker stop if it is all on the driver of the car? Your question answers itself haha


I would think the driver of the car wouldn't want the biker found. The biker could push for attempted murder charges. No victim no crime.
I don't think "involved" means what you think it means. Making physical contact is about as involved as you can get.

I rode motorcycles for 58 years. Bikers don't just ride up next to a car an kick the door of a car for no reason. Something happened before the video started that **** him off. The biker's mistake was thinking that he could win a physical confrontation with a car. After he kicked the car the car swerved at the biker and then over-corrected to get back in his lane. That's what caused the accident. The over-correction. But it was the bikers fault to kick the car. It's too bad that others had to suffer because of the biker's lack of intelligence. The biker should have followed the car home and then he could have got off of his bike and kicked the car driver's butt. The problem with that is that sometimes that back-fires too.

lol ok then

He was interacting with the driver of the car yes, but he didn't cause the wreck. His kicking the car happened prior to any wrecks. had the auto driver not reacted to the biker the wreck would never have happened.


Id still acquit the biker.

People get cut off in traffic all the time. It happens. You just have to learn to let it go.

If this guy is stupid enough to kick a car, he should realize that his name might show up on the Darwin awards.

I'd be pissed off too if someone actually physically damaged my car.

I believe it was a startled reaction. The motorcyclist needs to be charged with leaving the scene of an accident.

Where are you getting this info? All I see in that video is that biker did come close to the car so that he could show his skills. Where is that attempted murder? Is there longer version of this video somewhere?


The other poster lowonluck says that he has hit cars to get their attention and that's what probably this biker was doing. I am wondering if these bikes have what is called "horn" which you blow in case you are about to be hit or something

There is no law stating that witnesses must stop at the scene of an accident.
