I saw this story on Reddit. It's messed up that people are like that.

Messed up. It's not his place to "teach" anybody a lesson. All we learn is that this guy is major jerk. And this is the kind of thing I try to watch for when riding. And plan my escape from.

A move like that should cost him his license permanently!

The real moral of the story is that we as riders have to keep as much control in our environment as possible. Let's not take risks around other drivers.
People are to unpredictable, to incompetent, and sometime down right murderous. The rider survived, which is a blessing in itself. Any ways stay frisky out there 🤘.

1. The charge should be attempted murder. He should spend the rest of his life in jail.
2. The truck driver is a total idiot not only for purposely running a bike off the road, but then for admitting it. What sort of arrogant SOB stands around bragging about running someone off the road? 3. The truck driver not only is going to jail, he is going to lose everything he owns in the following civil suit. |

Lose everything he owns in the lawsuit- and rightly so. This is not how a person should behave on the roads.

Wow...that's messed up. Glad the rider survived. Hope that guy gets charged with at least attempted manslaughter
I don't understand how people will go to extremes for their version of "justice" |

There's a frustration with people getting "away" with things, and they want to "teach them a lesson." It doesn't work that way, but that's the mindset, I think.

I have little faith that our criminal justice will deal him sentence which fits that crime. Most likely slap on wrist: time-served, suspended sentence and community service.

The key to the story is the motorcyclist was passing the truck when the truck driver swerve. A quick glance at that intersection shows there is only one lane of traffic traveling in each direction.
Seems to me the motorcycle driver may have been correctly described as driving like a xxxxxxx. There is no excuse for what the cage driver did, but if you think this is an open and shut case think again. Don’t contribute to your own death by driving like a DICK. |

Charges of “disregarding traffic lanes, careless driving and reckless driving.” Certainly sounds like truck changed from one designated lane into a second valid lane without proper signaling, without verifying lane was clear, and without giving others already in lane right-of-way.

If the biker was really turning left did he signal? Guess not. This seems so simple to me. Biker try’s to go around and gets bumped into the ditch. Both drivers are at fault. Both drivers are dumbasses. One driver had huge cage around him. The other driver had air around him. I am sick of people thinking they are “entitled” to do what they want. No consideration to anyone. I took a ride yesterday to the auto parts store. I live at the beach. Labor Day weekend is a total traffic madhouse. During a short 15 mike trip I had two cars pull out in front of me and one decide he like my lane better then his. Nothing super close, but they were trying to kill me. Take a deep breath and don’t contribute to your own death. |
