This is the kinda dumb shit that makes up like half of the videos on this sub. Just one idiot being an idiot to another idiot when all the second idiot had to do was just get out of the first idiot's way without actually losing anything in the process except about 10 feet of road
Same thought. Did watch the second half of this video where the second idiot decided to flag down the cops and get the first idiot pulled over for the most mundane thing ever? or is this fake?
Honestly, given the one month old account posting it and the 500+ comments in less than an hour, you might be onto something there.
Are you honestly saying this account faked this video rather than just reposted it?
Also, this makes zero sense that the cop would ticket this woman based on this video but not also the biker.
That's just not how it works. It's up to the driver whose lane is ending to merge safely, the biker maintained his lane the entire time. Now he's still an idiot who should've braked because he's on a motorcycle and she's got a 1-2ton death machine, but that doesn't mean he was in the wrong lawfully.
Also cuts out any actual interaction with the cops, who will surely be pissed once they see the footage of such a nothing "incident" they pulled her over for.
This happens probably a few times a week where I live. Doesn’t even phase me, and I either speed up or let the person merge. Holding ground based on principal isn’t worth a life changing accident or inflating my insurance rates.

So you would rather let people continue to act like they control the road? While this is minor it shows a behavior that could very well be dangerous and possibly result in someone losing their life
Yeah, the motorcyclist wasn't driving defensively. The first thing they teach you in drivers school is to keep calm and that it's not worth it to try to "correct" other drivers on the road. It just means a driver aggression problem and someone who has a need to be right rather than prioritizing safety for everyone. You can only control you.
Once you come across the remnants of an accident where road rage was the instigator and where one party's head is on the road under a blanket detached from their body, it sticks with you. No one's life is worth trying to duke it out with another driver making a mistake on the road in order to be "right" and to teach them a lesson.
Im not defending the motorcyclists actions. I am fully liscensed to ride bikes and i understand defensive driving. I was referring to the comment saying to not even bothering to report her ass
I pretty much think that poor drivers will get their due, because we have police patrolling the interstates near me. If someone looks to be driving drunk I will report, but if it’s someone solely poorly merging, and I don’t let them in, I would need to report myself for not letting them in also.
Why would I endanger myself to report someone over something this petty when the interstates have plenty of police during rush hour. It’s just road rage, no point in getting my pants in a twist over it. .
I've been hit as a cyclist by dickheads like in the video that think they're in the right. Thankfully I wasn't hurt but the lack of care because I wasn't hurt reinforces their shitty behavior until they do hurt someone.
Yes. Probably because I'm not a stupid child anymore and with age comes the realization that giving up 10 ft of road means literally nothing. Young people are fucking dumb and have nothing to live for anyways so they are willing to put their lives on the line to protect their safe space on the road from dumb drivers, and that is why they get into so many accidents. When you get older you realize none of this is worth the hassle of a potential accident let alone potential injury.

You probably didnt notice this because you have zero reading comprehension. The comment i replied to never once said anything about how the biker handled the situation, only mentioned reporting her behavior to the cops

This is like mundane everyday stuff. If you finish your daily commute without something like this, you had a rare peaceful drive.
