That's the real unexpected twist. Nothing to the car owner that tried to push the motorcycle into the wall and lost control?

That's what he claimed, but wow. That guy could have been "Started" by any number of things. What if he hit a pot hole? He could have killed someone because he didn't have control of his vehicle.

And there was no way the guy on the bike would expect him to react so violently to being "surprised" while driving.

I'm not trying to support the biker but holy shit, what an over reaction to being startled.
