    Even then there’s still a good chance the car will be liable. The insurance argument would be if something stupid is happening - why were you still driving towards it, causing the accident. Same thing if someone’s recklessly driving - you, the driver of your car, should be mitigating any danger. Doesn’t seem fair but hey - that’s car insurance.

    Look at where the car is in the lane. It looks like, when the cyclist re-entered his lane, the driver decided that was his chance, so he got as close to the curb as he could and gunned it to try and get around. Who knows how long he was stuck behind these clowns. There's no audio, so for all we know he could have been laying on the horn for the past two minutes.

    It was a rage hit, even if the bike was a dick and should be prosecuted for reckless ridding, the car driver should have his license suspended and banned from driving for a while, and prosecuted for intended homicide.

    Neither the driver was able to control themselves nor the machine they were manouvering causing a dangerous situation by recklessly accelerating, and the bicycle is at most causing an annoyance by slowing them down, not real danger and not deserving to be slammed like this, at most a fine, a temp ban... lets be serious.

It would be a huge help if they banned them from social media. All they care about are views and followers. I’ve had conversations with them.

    I’m never someone to wish ill will on another person, but it is so satisfying to finally see someone get comeuppance, for doing this stupid shit.

    Almost as if there:

    1- should be rules pertaining to how vehicles interact on the roads. And ...

    2- only people who've been tested & licensed are allowed to utilize the roadways. And...

    3- those people & their vehicles should be insured.

    I mean, otherwise, any irresponsible idiot could cause accidents, injuries and not have the financial ability to pay for the damages they caused.

    I'd like to see police enforce this concept. It might also keep these kids from getting injured or killed.

    If the driver was paying attention they would have seen him swerving in both lanes. Cyclist is stupid but that driver is also responsible.
