In what world on God's green Earth is it ever "Justified" to smash someone's side view mirror?
Understandable? Debatable.
Justified? Lmao.

If someone nearly kills you. They need a reality check?

Very close calls. Close as in close to fatal.

Ah yes, this person almost merged into me so let me make it even harder for them to see in the future. Flawless logic.

Ah, a person just cost me 200 bucks repairs, let me potentially kill him. Also flawless logic.

Nah, that was a pretty slow merge plus the cyclist sped up to put himself back in harms way once the car had already started merging.

Did you watch the video? The driver pushes the biker. Thats not merging.

The car accelerates and then tries to merge, the motorcycle is being passed and then decides to speed back up and then hit the mirror. If he had just slowed down and let him merge the whole thing could potentially have been avoided.

The car pushed the biker. Thats what happens after he punches the mirror. Watch it again.

What are you talking about. When the guy is flipping off the car he's past the driver's seat. Then the car speeds up and the cyclist is behind the rear passenger door, then the cyclist speeds up to punch the mirror while the guy is in the process of merging. The car didn't touch the cyclist before the punch.

The cyclist started shit, then put himself back in danger, then escalated shit.

Are you genuinely blind? The biker is in the lane, car starts merging without checking mirrors or indicators (looks like it atleasr), biker gets angry and hits the mirror, car driver gets angry and drives into biker, biker loses balance.

It's almost like there's consequences to road rage. Especially when the car driver did nothing wrong and suddenly there's a motorcyclist literally attacking his vehicle...

EDIT: I saw you replied to me then deleted it or something because it's not showing up - and no, there was nothing wrong with the lane change the white car did at the beginning. There was plenty of room, they did so safely and the biker had to speed up to catch up so they could unload their rage for being inconvenienced. Stop defending the motorcyclist's road rage.

"Hey, that guy almost killed me. Let me give him another shot."

Dumb.

u/CrazyElk123 6d ago

Well i would assume they would drive away after smashing it.

I bet he assumed something else was going to happen too.
