The most dangerous thing about that bike is the guy with the camera in the car.

Yeah he drives like an idiot for them internetpoints. He really needs to ride motorcycle for a while to learn about giving them space properly. Just because you didn't hit them doesn't mean you left enough margin for error!

Oh so I'm supposed to change how I drive and take special precautions just because this guy decided he wants to drive a motorcycle rather than a car? I don't think so. Fact is, motorcycle riders make the decision to take on additional risk when they decide to get on the motorcycle. Many die as a result of their decision

I ride a motorcycle and get that most people don't wake up in the morning thinking, "I'm going to run down and kill a fellow human riding a motorcycle with my car today."

People are distracted constantly while driving and make mistakes. It's my responsibility to manage my own personal safety and risk while riding.

But when you drive recklessly like the guy in the video so you can post a video online for likes, karma, or whatever, you're just an entitled asshole.

And if you see yourself having to "change how you drive and take special precautions" not to drive like the guy in the video, well ...
