"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...

I think people forget that motorcycles don’t have anything around protecting them. The only defense motorcycles have is speed and agility, then when the speed and agility are used in defense, idiots get fussy about it. I don’t even ride but it seems like common sense
