Driver who purposely swerved to hit a passing motorcycle: "I Don't Care"

[saint]

Weasie,
I think you're missing one thing. The biker that got hit was not the one flying down the road passing everyone, nor was he with that person. According to statements made by him and the passenger, the old man was slowing down and braking unnecessarily prior to the incident so he tried to pass and was ticketed for passing in a no passing zone.

Again, just to clarify....on my drive home today on a 2 lane road with double yellow lines, if there are 2 cars in front of me and the first car breaks to slow down, it would be okay for me to pass both on a double yellow because they slowed below the speed limit? Never mind the fact that they could be slowing down for other traffic, a road hazard, an animal, etc? I can just pass them both, right? And we're all good?

I guess I should clarify my stance. The old dude is an asshole and should go to jail for doing what he did. But....as I preach to my kids frequently, if you don't put yourself in the position for bad things to happen, there's a good chance bad things won't happen. NOTHING good can come of passing 2 consecutive cars against a double yellow in any type of motor vehicle. I don't feel bad for the motorcylcists...when you break a law like that you put yourself in position for bad things to happen. Many deaths occur yearly from head on collisions because of assholes like those on the bikes. Or they get away without incidence while those they pass get in accidents.

Correct, the Old dude is an attempted murderer. Of course, I do feel sorry for the injured parties, as I don't believe they deserved to have someone try to kill them for their irresponsible behavior. That said, there is certainly good that can come from this if the cyclist modifies his behavior as a result of this incident.

You are right, I should and do feel bad to some degree....it's not humane to enjoy injury to fellow man even when they are in the wrong. That would be a pretty barbaric society.

No one normal thinks that was an accident. Period Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I wouldn't consider myself normal.

I'm riding shotgun on this.

Saint,
Have you ever been stuck behind a farm tractor. Ever had anybody brake check you for no reason. Have you ever gone 5 MPH over the limit, forgotten to use your turn signal?
Once again you take my statement out of context and try to turn it around into some self serving bullshit that always ends with a story about how awesome of a person you think you are when it comes to that particular topic.
My post concerning emergency vehicles was a direct response to those that made assertions that getting passed at a high rate of speed by motorcyclists, something that happens every single day a number of times, is cause for people to swerve in fear and cause a high number of accidents. If being passed at high speed causes you to freak out and hit someone, you shouldn't be driving. Period.
You understand that yet or am I comparing periods to firemen now and are you going to tell us how you saved a cat from a fire when you were a volunteer sheriff with that fat bastard Steven Seagal? Another narcissist like yourself.

People pass across double yellow lines all the fucking time, and they change lanes within 100 feet of intersections and railroad tracks, they speed up at yellow lights, but not you right? Nope, not you. Do all those people deserve to be run over, or just those damn motorcyclists? It's a stupid fucking statement and a stupid fucking stance for anyone to think that a fucking traffic violation is criminally equitable as running someone on a motorcycle off the road.

Is your rearview mirror full length so you can see yourself all the time? That's why your head's going to explode, you've got like a 5000 psi ego.


Hope this helps,
FDC

Are you that dumb? Emergency vehicles use loud sirens and blaring lights prior to passing a vehicle so people are prepared for it. Is it possible someone is startled being passed on the L on a 2 lane road with solid doubles and swerves out of reaction? Entirely possible. Hmm, I wonder why emergency vehicles shine blinding lights and ear-ringing sirens......maybe........so you have an idea you are about to be passed. Hmm, I wonder why they would want to prepare you for it. Oh, wait, maybe because it's safer for you to know you are about to be passed in a location you normally wouldn't! You are so hell bent on proving a point and being right that you argue about ridiculous shit. Half the time I'm not even sure if you understand what you are arguing about because you see red and go nuts on the keyboard.

I am right and i did prove my point. Did you answer a single question I asked? Nope, not a one, because you're wrong again. You're fucking answer is that's it's "possible" for people to get scared by someone passing them and that makes it okay to swerve and kill them. By your insane reasoning, it's "possible" that Officer Wilson shot Michael Brown in cold blood too, therefore Ferguson deserved the riot.

No its not possible that the 68 year old man was surprised or scared by the motorcyclist. Absolutely impossible. If it were he would have said so either at the scene, during interrogation, during his television interview from prison today, he did not. Investigators have already determined it was an intentional act and we all know how you ALWAYS back the police, so go sell stupid somewhere else.

Hope this helps,

How about the biker not even checking on his passenger? What a tool. The old man obviously had road rage and dos it purposefully. Idiot.





I guess he thought rubbin' is racin'?

 

[Jaxx]

The bikers were driving reckless sure. But that gives the man no right to swerve and use his vehicle as a weapon. Passing in a double yellow on a bike is no big deal. Done it many times. Get caught get a ticket. Not deserving of death or severe injury. The old man will pay.

So much rage and aggression these days.....Maine just passed a Concealed Carry Law with no permit, so now if you piss me off I can just pull a gun out of my jacket bitch, unless of course you pull yours out first.....It's going to be like the Old West out there before long, yeeee fricken hawww....:0008

What gives you the right to pass on a double yellow line?

It IS a big deal.

You endanger the lives of the ones you're passing and you endanger the lives of possible oncoming traffic.

It's against the law for a reason, it's called reckless driving and endangering the lives of yourself, your passengers, and the other drivers on the road.

Suppose you have a blowout while in the process of illegal passing?

What a stupid comment.

"Not deserving of death or severe injury." Yet you think you're allowed?

Actions have consequences. The biker.....the old man.


You can't just say, "It's no big deal" when you break the law. It's no big deal to YOU! Evidently, it was a big deal to that old man.

We live in a time of a very pissed off population.

In certain situations it is not a big deal. Passing on a bike is very different than passing in a slow vehicle. The pass can be made in a matter of a few seconds with no endangerment. Yea its against the law. So is speeding. The individuals in the video were driving reckless as I stated. They were in the wrong as was the old man.

You are right sir.

Correct. In this case the bike's consequences didn't fit the "crime"..let's see how it plays out for the felonious old scum bag

So calling me a dumbass in the thread was not enough. You had to give me a red card to call me a dumbass like a child? As I said the bikers in the video were acting reckless. Do I do that? No I do not. The passes I have made in the past were not reckless and endangered nobody. But you would not know that. You are a tool. You have no idea what you are talking about. And I am the dumbass.
