I bet the driver never saw him
The reason? Wasn't watching mirrors and didn't check blind spot
Lets be clear. The dick here is the driver. Had they been paying attention none of it would have happened
Obviously the biker should not have kicked him but then the driver doubles down and tries to kill him. C$$t is what he is.
Maybe the driver never saw him. Also driver not supposed to cross into the HOV lanes there.
Motorcyclist shouldn't have kicked the door. But moments after someone nearly kills you, you tend to make bad decisions.
I tend to lose my temper on my bicycle and motorcycle when people do things intentionally to cause me issues. I can somewhat relate to the biker here. But it is a bad idea when fighting with an auto.
I'm curious if I were in the same situation if I would stop or gun it and go. My official answer is that I would stop. But in the heat of the moment it may be, 'See ya.' And after the fact I can't see someone coming forward to put themselves in legal jeopardy.
I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.
