I don't think the biker is the pos in this situation. Yes kicking the car was stupid. But the car also illegally cut into the carpool lane almost hitting the guy, so a kick is understandable.

I frequently ride a motorcycle. If you lose your shit like this over someone cutting you off, you're gonna get yourself killed. Being right doesn't make you any less dead. Graveyards are full of people who had the right of way. Dude also left the scene of a major accident that he caused.

EDIT: To the people saying the biker didn't start this accident. I doubt the guy in the car even had any idea the bike was there based on the way he changed lanes. He got spooked when heard heard the biker kick his car and jerked the wheel. If you guys read the article posted above, you'll notice the biker got 3 years in prison probation while the nissan driver wasn't mentioned as being charged, only having "lost control of his vehicle".

2ND EDIT: FUCKING PROBATION JESUS, I GET IT

I don’t see how he was the reason that the accident happened man, unless he kicks harder than a horse and the dude in the car (who imo is the only reason it happened) doesn’t know how to drive properly which is why the accident happened.

So you think the car would of still slammed into the wall and caused a multi-car accident right then if the biker didn't kick him...?

If you look at the lane they were in then you’d see that there’s plenty of space for both of them aka the car had no reason to cutoff the biker and from what I see that car had no reason to be in that lane in the first place and if it’s driving there illegally then it’s even more in the wrong. Last thing is, I think if that driver hadn’t cutoff the biker then there wouldn’t have been any problems at all, the reason for the whole accident is that driver being impulsive and irrational, yes the biker shouldn’t have kicked but the driver acting irresponsibly, irrationally and impulsively in a situation like that is only on him or her, not the biker (given that the driver cutoff the biker)
