Seems more like clipping someone round the ear then getting punched in return.

More like hitting someone with a fly swatter and getting ttted with a sledgehammer in return.

Using a car as a weapon to smash into a biker is unforgivable, regardless of the provocation in this instance.

Shame he didn't properly knock the biker off, he wouldn't be doing it again. The only thing the biker is sorry for is getting caught out, he wouldn't be sorry if he'd made a getaway - people need to start accepting that their actions are going to have potentially nasty retaliations even though the car driver was in the wrong it doesn't give him an excuse to start smashing his car up.

Indeed, but had the biker not been a knob first then there wouldn't have been an incident. I bet he will think twice next time he is about to smash someone's mirror.

My guess is that that's not the first mirror he's smashed but I bet it's the last , some riders , both cyclists and motorcyclists always think they're right because they're more vulnerable to injury but acting the brings out the worst in people until one day they do it to somebody who really doesn't care that there are concequences to running them over.

On the subjects of bikes, this took me by surprise earlier. Doesn't seem like there was enough room to filter at that speed, the protruding sign not helping.

And this idiot who thinks recovery trucks can use bus lanes. Even worse because some utter cretin in the council decided the lights at the end give them priority. So you regularly get two lanes of traffic brought to a complete halt to let one through, usually a minicabber with no passengers, then by the time the light go green again, the second set have gone red. And yes, that is a "lady driver, please be patient" sign on the car in front.

Well Pharmacy... must have been urgent medical supplies.

Some people do seem to be more willing to blatantly take the piss out of red lights at temporary traffic lights than at permanent traffic lights. Is it because the interval between red at one light/green at the other seems to be longer?

Think your possible right, some dorks out there.

Pass, they had been red for about 5 seconds and the cars at the other cars had just set off. About 30 seconds later I was on the move

really?
most of the damage to the car is the fault of the driver yes?
if the bike had been a fully laden truck do you think the car driver would have cut across two lanes like that?
also had it been a truck there would be a lot more damage to the passenger side of the car.
driver also seems to think its signal,Manoeuvre then look.
shame there is no charge of assualt with motor vehichle in the uk.
bike rider was a knob though.

[untakenname]

I'm surprised the biker didn't nut the driver, was well within his rights to do so imo.

You're missing my point.

The car driver fked up, I'm sure he realised that soon after and nobody in this thread can say they haven't messed up at some point on the road and cut someone off or similar. It's how we deal with these mistakes that is important, the biker didn't give the car driver a chance to correct or offer an apology, instead he resorted immediately to criminal damage and tried to escape.

Guy on the bike is a of the highest order and deserved exactly what he got.

Within his rights? What rights are those then?

The biker wasn't going to 'nut' anyone because he's an archetypal 'pussy' - only 'hard' when he thinks he can perpetrate vandalism and then run away. Coward of the highest order.

I don't think any half-competent solicitor would have too much trouble putting a "self-defence" spin on that.

The driver had just tried to run him over.

Biker hits wing mirror...

Never understood why bikers do this.

By damaging/destroying the offside wing mirror - they are limiting the driver's visual aids and making it far more dangerous for themselves and other road users.

I guess safety is a secondary consideration to youtube hits though - huh!

Ludicrous suggestion, any half competent solicitor wouldn't go anywhere near such an approach. After the 'event' what would the biker be defending himself against? In mortal danger of a severe rant from the car driver perhaps?

A coward for not assaulting someone with multiple witnesses watching, possibly recording it?

Some people would think that would be a stupid idea.

[herewego]

I like to think the biker took the footage to the police despite being open to a criminal damage charge himself. I'm not sure what the charge against the driver would be but I expect it would be much more serious.

[Bennet]

I have more sympathy with the driver. What was he meant to do after the guy slapped the mirror? Just accept that the cost of making a mistake that causes inconvenience to a motorcyclist is damage to your car?

He's a coward for smashing a door mirror and then running away. Some might say that smashing the door mirror in the first place was a stupid idea so why would someone who has a predilection for stupid ideas come over all shy just because there are witnesses? Coward fits the bill accurately.

Exactly if anyone did that to my car i'd be using everything within my power to stop the biker.

These bikers that do it are pussies they brake the mirror then ride off at speed jumping red lights when they see they're being chased just like that one who smashed the Audi mirror in an earlier clip.

With mirrors these days wouldn't surprise me if they're worth at least 500 quid once you start going into heated auto folding gubbins.

And he hardly rammed the driver some are making out like it was some scene from grand theft auto and he repeatedly ran over the bikers lifeless corpse.

I, too, would like the biker to hand the footage over to the police. I predict the car driver will just say that he was trying to catch up with the biker after the mirror incident when the biker slammed on his brakes for no reason resulting in the accident. The police will probably have 'words' with both parties and leave it at that but, hopefully, keep the recording and incident on file for the next time the biker performs his party trick and gets reported/caught on camera.

[herewego]

The biker didn't ride off though, he could have easily sprinted away from the car. I wonder now if it was just another made up stunt for YouTube views.
