This is just another form of evolution. No intelligent and successful person would risk their life in this manner like the motorcyclist. Only a person that weak and insecure would resort to that action. The motorcyclist and driver are both wrong.
Calling people stupid, because they don't agree with you. I've never heard of that before.

This isn't subject to debate. The motorcyclist is clearly wrong as is the driver of the vehicle. The motorcyclist kicked the car and contributed to the accident. No intelligent person can reasonably argue the motorcyclist shares no responsibility in this.

Again, this is a classic example of Social Darwinism. To find that people can actually defend the motorcyclist just proves that.

Raise your hand if you were at the scene of this accident. The video posted does not give the whole story. All of this is just internet chatter.

There really aren't that many people saying the motorcyclist shares NO responsibility, OTOH there are quite a few people who rightly point out that the last action the driver of the car takes, in swerving towards the motorcycle, is the immediate cause of the crash. Both are fools but the one driving the car is the the one who nearly killed himself and others with his pisspoor driving skills/ attempt at retaliation (whichever camp you choose)

Not only are many here saying the motorcyclist shares no responsibility, but they are defending him, like he is a victim. You should reread this thread. More than a few posters here see nothing wrong in what the biker did, including kicking the car, and leaving the scene of the accident.

I think you nailed it. No one of any intelligence could argue with that! Lol

If the motorcyclist would have actually kicked the car instead of the tapping he did then the laws of physics would have come into play as shown in this video.

can't agree with the notion that the biker was in any way involved or contributed to the accident and subjected to any "leaving the scene..." rules any more than if he would've flipped the bird at psycho-car-guy and causing him to flip on his rage activation mode and try and kill the biker. While the biker made a Richard move to kick the vehicle, the car driver got what he deserved. It's too bad some other innocent got caught up in the mayhem. Hope the biker gets away Scott-free and car-guy spends time in the county jail with a couple of bikers as his cell mates.

The "tapping" left a dent in the car door big enough to see in the video. The fact that the biker did not fall is evidence to me that he has done it before. He's had practice.

the tap did not leave a dent, the biker is well back of the car door and any dent is far more likely caused when the car rams the bike.


please post a screen grab of this "dent" because I'm not seeing it.
