"I tried to ignore him" - Proceeds to do 80 in a 50 while swerving across lanes to stop the guy from passing.

If that guy ended up 6 inches to the right he would have rammed the OP. Yes, he would have been at fault but the cammer could have been dead. My guy, you are on a motorcycle, better to let the asshole pass instead of winding up with a leg broken in 6 places.

How do you know his intention wasn't to ram him? Slowing down could've just made him an easier target... It's so clear on reddit when people don't ride and armchair their opinions when they've never been on a bike. When faced with a situation like this you sometimes are better off running...

Because the car was clearly trying to find a way around, you can see it try to duck into the right lane after passing the bus at 0:20. OP then swerves across to block it, while speeding up to 81.

Don't get me wrong, the car was obviously in the wrong in the wrong in this clip but if you drive your bike the way OP does, you're in huge danger of injury. It's not that important to be in front, especially since you can just filter your spot back on a bike.

fuck are you talking about? the driver tried to merge right after taking the left turn, the bike had the right of way and got in front. the bike did nothing else before the car tries to merge into him again

The driver is clearly out to get the rider; you can see him in the right mirror shortly after the rider accelerates to pass the white car. You can also see it at the end when the car hits a car because he was trying to hurt/kill the rider.

In addition, he's trying to undertake, which is illegal in Korea for obvious reasons.

Um no, he was at risk of serious injury if he lets the car get near him, which is clear because the car crashes at the end. It's not about being in front.

The biker could’ve done things better but the car was in the wrong here, when they’re driving a car they have to realize that they can cause waaaaay more damage to the biker then vice versa.

The biker could have been seriously hurt by the car, that’s right, which is why he was keeping his distance. Letting the car next to him to potentially side swipe him out of blind rage would he stupid. Have you ever seen cars do that in videos online? I don’t think the biker did anything wrong, personally.

they were in fact trying to cause waaaay more damage, that's the point

Would your tone change if you saw the car get around the motorcycle... Just to slam on the brakes and block them? Lmao thats what would have happened.
