The Biker Who Rode For His Life Has Just Uploaded This Shocking 'How It Started' Video
Yesterday, we showed you shocking footage of a biker who had to ride for his life after a bald-headed car driver was quite clearly intent on running him off the road and doing him some damage. This being the internet, people assumed that the biker must have done something to provoke the man (just take a look at the YouTube comments), but it turns out that the car driver was simply a short-tempered douchebag who was having a seriously bad day.
As you can see in the video, the biker pulls in front of the car at a set of traffic lights (this is legal in many areas, but not all). Clearly not happy with the biker’s decision to do so, the driver pulls away from the lights hard, giving little room to the man on two wheels. The biker then races off down the road (at well over 100mph), and when the pair meet again at the next intersection, that’s where the aggression really kicks off. The man on the bike gives the driver the finger, the driver vomits some bad words and then, which is the real turning point, the biker smacks the guy’s mirror. That’s where things turn nasty and is the result of the shocking footage you watched last night:
So in conclusion: The driver is the main party at fault, but the biker did himself no favours in hitting the man’s car. Sometimes (actually always), it’s better to avoid confrontation and simply ride to the nearest cop shop. After all, this biker had all the footage he needed to ensure that the driver got what he deserved. What do you guys make of these events in light of this newly-released footage?
Thanks to CTzen Lucas Thezolin for the info and video footage (the biker is his mechanic).

All we know is, he’s not Ronnie Pickering but he is his American cousin.
Maybe it was better to just talk with the guy
Where this went wrong to me, was if you are going to split lanes, and the car takes off faster than your bike, you have to allow the car to proceed.. Otherwise just stop in the middle of the cars.. not in front of the car.. But where this was wrong was the dude in the red car swerved toward the bike after he had changed lanes..
Personally though,
I don’t care who you are, if you hit my mirror in my car while you are on your bike having a temper tantrum because the car took off faster, i would run your ass over.. I will answer the cops questions later..
Cmon guys, the biker was as idiot as the car driver. It should have let him past and stay on his lane, really, look at the beginning. The driver cut him off when the green light was on but he should have just walked away.
Ah yes, the classic “I’m a biker, thus I destroy car mirrors for instant justice” trope. Never gets old. And bikers wonder why they are hated by cagers.
It’s not like cagers aren’t just as big of c-words on the day to day.
The Subaru guy seems to be on his phone as well?
This is what happens when two complete idiots come in contact with one another.
Well I don’t agree with filtering through traffic in the first place. Way to dangerous cars don’t always stay nice and straight in their lanes.
I really don’t have much sympathy for either party. Everything right there was avoidable with a calm head. Hell if I got angry every time someone cut me up and barged in front of me in Nottingham I’d be having a crap week. Some people are idiots but you never hit someone else car. Get off and talk to the guy or fight it out by all means but don’t whack his mirror and run away. It doesn’t matter if you’re in the right there’s always a better way and from that point on there was only one direction the confrontation was ever going to go.
I guess u could say he had to RIDE OR DIE! ba dum tss!
