If I was the cam driver I’d just slow down, no point dealing with stupid

Wdym... instead of just letting off the gas a little bit, you can instead raise your blood pressure, battle with a car while on a motorcycle, argue with a stranger and then go chase down a police officer because someone didn't merge right.

I know what I'm picking 😎

Passivity?

Not everything has to be a battle to the death. Let go off the gas every once in a while. Hell, maybe take the scenic route home and stop to take in the view.

Or spend your time battling traffic and screaming at people. I don't care, you do you.

Nah I do agree with you I'm just stirring shit.

I don't drive, I live in a country with some of the highest road deaths per capita and I see egotistical drivers do horribly dumb things on a weekly, almost daily basis.

I'd much rather have stupid In front of me than behind.

also depending on where they live they're also confidently wrong about who has the right of way with a lane ending merge like that, if it's a highway ramp she has to yeild yes, but if it's a lane ending from a 2 lane road to a single lane then typically the motorcycle driver would be the one that would have to yeild.

Exactly. They could be right. Dead right that is.

And oh no, Karen cost him precious 3 seconds delay to his commute. How will he ever live with that fact? /a

I imagine motorcyclists really want to make sure car-drivers know that their impatience and inconsideration actually kills motorcycle drivers. I’m not sure if I agree with that, but I can’t fault him for trying to be the human on a motorcycle and not just another obstacle on the road.

And this woman feels no such consideration and doubles down on her unsafe maneuver. I’m just glad the cop was there, so she may face actual consequences for her negligence.
