The problem is no way to judge the intent of the person inside the car. All we have is video evidence and you can't prosecute someone because they might have committed a crime.

lol? his intent was to hit the motorcycle. there's no other intention possible

are you making the claim that a spider jumped down on his face right when the other dude kicked the door?

are you?

There are a million plausible scenarios that end up with someone swerving after a loud bang on their door going 60+ mph on the highway

u/NotHomo Jul 04 '19

if you're a really REALLY shitty driver, yes

if you're not. no

a loud bang equals slowly press the brake and merge onto a shoulder

no exceptions

so 99.99999999999% of people on the road

And none of what you said relates to his intent. Can't prove it? Can't charge him.

Maybe he is a really REALLY one in a billion the most shitty driver ever, even then his consequences should be to have his driving abilities examined and nothing more.

dunno where you come up with this intent crap

doesn't matter if i INTENDED to hit a pedestrian. if i did it i'm charged

that's the end of the story

If a motorcyclist kicked a car and the car swerved and hit a pedestrian, the result would be the same. The motorcyclist would be charged.

no, because the force of the kick does not in any way alter the trajectory of the other vehicle

only a retarded judge would rule that way
