Not the most eventful, but the driver's reactions is properly baffling, how can he see that as anything other than his fault?

I agree, it makes me angry that they get aggressive when they're clearly the one in the wrong. A lot of this could be diffused by acknowledging the error and demonstrating some sort of apology.Not the most eventful, but the driver's reactions is properly baffling, how can he see that as anything other than his fault?
It happens with car park scrapes as well:
"You just hit my car with your door!"
"No I didn't, f
k off etc etc..."Sadly peoples' tendencies seem to be 'deny wrong-doing even though you blatantly did'.

I suspect deep down these people know they're in the wrong and just don't like being pulled up on it. Where normal people might be embarrassed that they've cocked up these mouth breathers just get angry, maybe kidding themselves that it's all someone else's fault as a weird form of saving face. It's like a defence mechanism.Not the most eventful, but the driver's reactions is properly baffling, how can he see that as anything other than his fault?
Certain kinds of people are never angrier than when they themselves are in the wrong. Friend of mine nearly got himself beaten up by a bouncer when he made the mistake of winning an argument from a logical standpoint. The guy had been reasonably calm until you could see he suddenly realised he was wrong at which point he went absolutely apes
t. In that case I guess he felt he'd lost with his brain but he could still win with his fists.Funk said:

I do the same myself. Last week I misjudged a lane change and pulled in too closely infront of another driver. He quite rightly flashed his lights at me and gestured that he wasn't too happy. I held my hand up in apology, he dropped back and we both got on with our day.

I had a accident similar to that. It was a lorry and the overtake was a lot tighter, but a ford ka pulked out didnt look and bounced off me and was written off.Not excusing it, or saying it's right.
The police came as well, it took my insurance about a year to no fault me and police blamed other driver.
But it is a right ballache and now I hang back it just isnt worth the effort as I think in sum cases they do look but it is the queue jump mentality as well crowd out there.

Biker froze rigid, probably scared himself silly when the car moved over. He was no where near the cornering limits of the bike although maybe the surface was gravelly or something like that.
Bikers fault.
Car could (should?) have looked before choosing to come off line and cut the corner though. His signal to the biker, until he cut, was that he'd follow the road. He changed that approach without warning.

Not a road I would overtake on without being sure the driver in front knew I was there and going to...........looked painful however. Bikers fault.

Definitely not.
I suspect:
biker went for overtake
car moves over significantly (for no reason whatsoever)
biker has to rapidly change direction to avoid contact with car and is unable to flick the bike back to get back on the line he originally intended to take.
Yes, it is possible that a more skilled biker might have been able to salvage the situation, but that does not, in any way, make it his fault that he was unable to do so.
