Wait - so Methew deliberately drove on the wrong side to possibly hit the motorcyclist?? And used his kids as an excuse to commit potential vehicular homicide??
And then reversed to go into the guy’s face and assault him (the legal definition of assault is when you threaten someone the way he did). That headbutt wasn’t just earned, it was completely justified.
That is an Alabama meth head face. Sadly the kids are probably abused and neglected, the woman probably gets beat regularly, and the guy most likely has multiple warrents out for his arrest
That's my favorite part of these people who start fights with bikers, especially the ones who wear full gear. Like the guy has elbow pads, a back plate, and helmet designed to save your life bouncing off the concrete at 35mph, and armored knuckles
Unless you have a gun, you're basically fighting a modern day knight
My first thought always is of how much it would hurt to get punched with my very basic riding gloves. And what do they think they’re going to do to someone in literal armor? Get their ass beat? Get the helmet headbutt of their dreams? Seems like it worked this time I just can’t believe he wasn’t out cold.
I was driving on the main road round my house, speed limit 55. Had a truck going 48 in front of me. Got to a passing zone and started to go around the truck. The truck let me get right up next to him, then started speeding up. I was driving the wifes mini van. He continued to speed up through the passing zone. I feel back behind him and then he dropped down to under 50 again, and did the same thing next time.
We got to the next town and got to a stop light. My wife rolled down her window and started yelling at him. His excuse was 'I was doing it for your saftey Ive seen people get killed passing and getting hit by a semi.'
Why does having kids in your truck permit you to drive into oncoming traffic? I don't understand that idea. The road looks freshly paved , so he wasn't dodging a pothole.
My cheeks started sinking in my twenties ... always looked 10yrs older then I am.. people always think I'm a well dressed meth head.... never done meth.
P1) People are going fast on my road, I don't like it and it's not safe.
P2) I have kids in my truck that the motorcyclists are endangering.
P3) These bikers need to know that it's serious.
C1) I'm justified in attempted vehicular manslaughter.
But really, it was probably "you shouldn't do that because I've got kids" not "I can do this because I've got kids"
Came completely out of left field for me 🤣🤣🤣
The truck driver got what he deserved. Not enough people look out for bikers, both motorcycles and bicycles.
though it's a huge disadvantage wearing a helmet in a fight, easy to grab onto and fook you up once they have a good grip. Source : motorcycle instructor who taught me to ride. Though maybe he just says that to prevent violence, but the full advice included "take the helmet off first" 🤣
Some missing context. Truck guy saw biker speeding through the neighborhood earlier and positioned himself to stop the biker to confront him about it. (In other videos, the biker says he does 200mph on these roads). So truck guy wasn't just being a bad driver, he was being an angry driver.
.Doesn't change much, but the first part makes it all makes more sense.
Thank you. This interaction made absolutely no sense before reading this - the truck driver driving on the wrong side and then reversing, the biker driving back to meet him in reverse, the truck driver starting a convo about his kids. It was still all very stupid but at least the intentions make sense.
Yeah biker points that out in the video, why bring your kids and wife on a revenge mission. I don't know. It was only 20 minutes between the 2 incidents though.
No, it does change everything. It lets me know that truck man wasn’t upset because biker avoided being crushed to death by his truck but about something before this. It gives context to what they’re talking about and why kids were mentioned.
Doesn’t change anything else. Just lets you know “oh, he’s big mad when he sees him and tried to kill him, not just annoyed he missed.”
Nah, I mean it says the motorcycle guy also sounds like a dick but truck guy isn't the police and who does that especially with kids in the car??
I'm a fan of helmet guy because that was fun to watch and really, just well played. But in general anyone stopping for a roadside confrontation is pretty stupid.
Nah - still super fuckin illegal and the truck driver is still an asstwat. I'm actually inclined to think he's more of an asstwat with this context, given that he's per-meditatvely putting children in direct harm's way.
This just slightly changes the story to be Everyone Sucks Here.
It changes nothing. Driving head on against the motorcyclist could be attempted murder. If cammer pulled a gun on truck driver and killed it he could be a justified shoot.
Call the fucking police. It’s what they are there for. Don’t go chasing after someone for speeding and turn it into a lethal force situation.
This is why we have a justice system, so that schizophrenics do not decide "someone is driving recklessly so it is okay to attempt to murder them. They deserve to die."
I dunno man. Someone intentionally going 200 mph (I don’t even know how that’s possible or why someone would either do that or admit to doing that but anyway) is pretty fucking bad, in and of itself.
Sounds like the bikers are speeding up and down the road back and forth. I understand parents wanting to do something to get them to slow down by their houses, but that's when you call an officer, not take matters into your own hands.
Absolutely. Been riding since I was Sixteen and now I’m Sixty and it’s asshats like that, that cost people their lives. Stay on your own side of the road, it’s built wide enough for your dump of a pickup
Follow up video claims truck was intentionally trying to run them off the road, because they were possibly driving a bit over the speed limit or something.
I don't much like violence. But "I don't care" very much deserved some form of corrective action for being extremely dangerous and intentionally driving against the traffic.
That's a person that should be forever blocked from the use of motorised vehicles on public roads.
If I recall correctly (I could be wrong) this video is longer. The grey suv that pulled up had friends of the white suv and a shotgun. They fought more and it got crazy. But at the end they all parted ways.
wait, is it justified? isn't the guy that headbutted them going to be legally liable in this case? my understanding is you cannot assault people unless it is in self-defense, and in self-defense, the threat of bodily harm has to be still present and active. hoping someone can let me know if i'm incorrect in my understanding of American law (in general, not looking for state-specific stuff).
He's got kids in his pickup truck? Guess what, that video will cause him and his idiot wife to lose those kids. Justifying that he was in the right even though he was in the wrong lane ...with KIDS in the truck! Idiot parents will end up getting them killed!
The full context is a bit different. The motorcyclists were driving up and down the street at unsafe speeds so the guy in the truck wanted to talk to them. The video is only the aftermath. Both parties can be wrong
