Youtube clip , a bit mad them Americans

[slimwilly]

Even them ones in shorts,, yeh shorts

Crazy as hell!

Idiot bikers wearing no gear trying to run with a huge tank of a car.

If the cager really started the confrontation then I see two options 1) call the police and let them try and handle it or 2) wait until the car runs out of gas and confront the driver personally.

It's possible to interpret this video either way. If there were a dozen bikers riding round someone and making someone feel intimidated (I mean, there's no reason for the bikers to stick around a car no?) then I can see a situation where someone in a car could start making irrational decisions out of fear.

But then on the other hand the cager tried to ram one of them into a truck.

A bit of each if you ask me. What were the bikers actually doing in the first place?

If there's a car driving like that, seemingly trying to take you out intentially, why the hell are they still riding near him?!?

On my way to Bath on Friday I overtook a nice Mercedes, 2 minutes later he's overtaken me (obviously not an issue) but he's got one of those small vans on his arse.


Refuses to pull over even though there's numerous times he should have, van undertakes and then forces his way back over, 'this is gonna be fun' I thought, So I'll follow them, at a safe distance obviously, between the 2 of them it went on for a good 15 miles, and it was proper stupid dangerous manoeuvres.


It's all too easy for road rage to start over something minor!

Got me "dad" hat on ---they are all as bad as one another.
But I do love the comment on the clip  " I only go feral on people who deliberately do shit like this to try and wreck me"
I cant wait to be able to use it in a conversation somwhere

[Dead Eye]

Holy crap... if that began to happen to me, I'm pretty sure there would be two options I would consider; a) pin back the throttle and leave them behind (only semi-feasible) or b) stop on the hard shoulder and let that crazy fool wreck themselves

[hightower]

1) call the police and let them try and handle it or 2) wait until the car runs out of gas and confront the driver personally.

Option 3) is what I would take. Use speed to get away, or just pull over and let them get out the way, or take the next exit off and pick another route home. A bike tackling a car at 70mph is an accident I wouldn't want any part in.

[Hedgetrimmer]

Let's face it, if a cager really wants to take you out, on a bike you wouldn't stand much chance - stay well clear, I'd say. Surprised they didn't go Mad Max on the foccer when they had him stopped tho.

[Dead Eye]

I think that's probably because the police showed up :P

wait until the car runs out of gas and confront the driver personally.

A bike is gonna follow a car and wait for it to run out of fuel?

Haven't we all experienced  this kinda shit?

No Stig, thats just Wiltshire drivers for you.

[esetest]

They were all driving & riding like a bunch of stupid cnuts .

[Hedgetrimmer]

Yeah, but I still wanted to see them go all Mad Max on his sorry ass!! 

[stupidamerican]

True - this could be go either way.

My impressions of the guys on the bikes are well - not good. We call them Biker Boyz. Usually a bunch of posers riding in a want-to-be motorcycle gang acting a fool. Most of the time when I've seen these guys they are riding entirely too fast on roads that are heavily congested.

On the other hand, they could have been minding their own business and the cager was being an ass.

Could the motorcycles ran out of fuel first? Sure, but then again we know the yank tanks get about 5 mpg, the car in the video included.

Really - seeing idiots riding like this in the states makes me frustrated b/c it gives motorcyclists a bad imagine (which is already pretty bad back home). Then again, having a few near misses like this in my time is more than enough to get upset with a cager who always says "I just didn't see you".

A little different video but still shocking:

Shocking!!!!!
