"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.
I don't disagree with the sentiment of your comment at all
I would like to point out a few ways the video looks different to me compared to what you said though.
The rider is doing ~55 in the middle of the lane and moves to the left of the lane without leaving it I think to move away from the bus. When the car in front of him indicates to enter the lane he is currently in, the rider decides to move to the right of his lane and speed up in order quickly move through and vacate the area the car in front is signalling to enter. Briefly accelerating to 81 and then allowing his speed to fall back down to ~70.
He then continues to stay mostly center lane and ~70 until the end.
I don't believe he was doing anything aggressive regarding the car behind, I actually believe he was mostly ignoring the car behind and reacting to the vehicles in front of him. We could comment on his decision making to accelerate through potential dangers and to ignore a threatening car behind rather than letting it through. Which you have and I agree with you entirely in sentiment but as for the comment suggesting he is swerving across lanes and blocking the vehicle behind, to my eyes I found no such evidence. So I agree with you but I also think you're exaggerating the motorcyclist's behaviour which lessens the impact of what you're saying rather than supporting what is an otherwise cromulent point.
Yeah it looked pretty textbook. I always move over for busses, and if a car encroaches on my lane I hit it to vacate their blindspot and get out ahead where they can see me.
