I don't swear a lot but it's likely the words would be flying here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn3qjhc6tQY#ws%5B/url)
Damn Karl,
Lucky he didn't just rear end you. Glad to see you got off with just some bruises. Could have been alot worse. So the police came and ???? Could the guy speak English? Nice of the Subaru drive to help you out.

Oh - that wasn't me. It was posted on another forum....just wanted to share.
Depending who the rider was... it might have had a different ending! I know some riders who would have pulled the driver out of his car and beat him into next week.

I would have beat the snot out of him for not pulling over :negative:
I've had that exact same thing happen but when I pulled up to the passenger window to ask "WTF?" from the driver I was greeted with much profanity, racial slurs and death threats. My favorite response was when I said "You know you could have killed me" to which I was replied to with "I don't give a f*ck you cracker ass honky mother f-er. I don't give a f*uck about you or any other white ass mother f-er. I could kill you right now and not even care." I was in a prominently black part of town heading back to work from a remote site. She was in her BMW and looked like a crack head.
I figured it was best to just let it go. The urge to pull her from the car and beat the living shit out of her was difficult to hold back.
Good to see the other driver helped the biker. I would have done the same thing. It's getting bad enough now and days that I am almost to the point to where I will start recording my commutes.
i have often thought about recording my commute... and then obvious;y handing the video in to the relevant authorities.... had a 4WD pull over on top of me yesterday and then that shut down all my "space" and i was caught short and locked up... nice howl from the rear....but... i dont think they can do anything...have even had one Cuntstable tell me, after i informed him of the actions of other drivers..to.." get of the death machine" .....it is a conundrum... i myself am getting very tired of 4WD owners in the city in particular...... :ireful:
I don't think I could or would just let them drive off. I have put a foot into a couple car doors over the years. Not a good idea but I was younger at the time.
If the driver didn't want to pull over I'd report the plate number to the local law or follow them until they stopped and deal with them myself. The real problem is that the law wont really be interested unless they saw the accident happen or if someone got hurt.
In fact a friend of mine had his bike knocked over by his neighbors kids messing around on it and when he reported it to the cops they explained to him that motorcycles are considered an inconvenient nuisance and there was nothing they could or would do for him. He was out a couple thousand bucks for the fairing and side panels. The kid's parrents knew the law was there about the bike being knocked over and did nothing to help him either.
I suppose you could take them to court but that takes time and money and you still might not get anything out of the fkrs..
Glad you didn't get shot Mr. Bean.... sounds like you might have...

If you come visit my country, Portugal, you will see what is reckless driving... :crazy:
Best just to get the plate and the witnesses phone number and call the cops. Not worth the hassle otherwise. If they didn't stop of their own accord that's a good sign they are a shitbag. If you force a "conversation" you have a good chance of an earful something like Bean heard. and good for you Bean, it would really take some serious restraint to walk away from that, girl or no..
The guy in the vid is a zen master. I've seen this yodic mystic force in action before and believe it is the way.
Stay calm. Stick to your principles. Fight the good fight.
Big up to the guy in the other car.
As for Mr Bean's conundrum.
When the force fails, jab the bitch in the chuff with a lightsaber.
Fairs, fair.
