Watching this actually made me feel sick to my stomach. I can’t believe the stupidity of that driver nor the stupidity of the bikes driver to be passing like that. Right or wrong where is the fucking common sense on either persons part?

I actually did not go into that because it’s a very touchy subject for me, but I have told point blank to my Daughters boyfriends that ride...

Slightly dick rider- meet dangerously dick driver.
When you think about it,its pretty inevitable these things will happen occasionally

I don’t believe the 20mph under the speed limit story. There are cars not too far ahead of that car that they maintain distance with through the video. This is a case of idiotic asshattery matched with a very stupid reaction.

I know he slowed down considerably but his actions show someone driving recklessly. He WAS speeding and (according to the riders own words) came up behind a car doing 20mph slower than the speed limit. So what does he do? Instead of just patiently waiting he decides to blow past on a double solid.

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 lane positioning etc). So it comes down to The Law vs. common sense, being

Looks to me like a case of asshole (swerving into them) on asshole (speeding recklessly, passing in a no passing zone, no safety clothing) crime.
