I agree. How many times have we gotten mad when white men talked out of their asses instead of clearing the way for oppressed parties to speak for themselves? Hey feminists: this is what an ally looks like. This is what you’ve been asking for.

He wasn’t driving without a license, he was driving with an invalid license (most likely he had a driver’s license, but for automobiles not motorcycles, or it could have simply been expired) so yeah I think that could be considered minor.
you’re an asshole. two civil infractions (and that’s all they are, they’re fucking traffic tickets) do not justify someone crowning himself Judge Dredd and going on to play judge, jury, and executioner. The only sociopaths here are 1) Crum, who thinks it’s OK to try to kill two people because he doesn’t like the way…
Gosh I almost want to star this comment for the ending but I can’t get past the victim blaming and calling the driver of the car an idiot when the proper term is psychopath.
If you think a minor traffic infraction remotely justifies attempted murder: Fuck You.
Finally, a side observation - I would say the motorcyclist’s main error in this situation was passing so closely. More room and he would have had time to react (swerve and/or pin it). I’m not sure if the motivation there was not being too far over seeing as it’s a DY or if maybe he was being a little aggressive…
I doubt he was going that slow solely because he was inept. Likely he was going slow purposely to be an ass and provoke “those gull-durn kids on their fancy-pants furren motor-sickle” into passing like that so he can self-justify his dickishness.
Oh and I meant to add - note in this situation, if this guy did in fact douchily slow down (another common douche tactic), the motorcyclist was correct that this was not the type of twit to hang around near....
To all of you saying passing on the DY is automatically Bad - stop. Just stop.
a) You probably don’t ride. Believe me, there are plenty of places that are unsafe for a car to pass where it’s no problem for a bike (either due to the bike being able to do the pass or simply because of things like better sightlines due to…
Looks fairly obviously intentional on the video to me.
...I don’t know that not wearing gear and passing on a double yellow equate to assault with a vehicle...
Attempted murder. It’s that simple. People need to learn that it’s not their job to police others on the road. No it’s not oaky to attack people with your car. Free pass to jail and a lifetime ban on driving. He’s lucky the riders are alive.
The driver should be charged with attempted murder - but because he “only” hit a motorcycle, he won’t be.
