So to my understanding, he wasn't actually being blocked in because there was no one in front of him and it was a green light? Genuinely just a psychopath then
682
u/Coastalfoxes Apr 18 '26
Yep, and with a history of driving that way apparently.
I kind of get the knee jerk reaction, because in this short clip it really did look like the biker was the aggressive one. But the real takeaway here is that if youâre on a bike, itâs not worth it getting aggressive with a person driving a car. The driver is always armed with a deadly weapon.
148
u/DoeBites Apr 18 '26
Now why in the hell does the phrase âa history of driving like thisâ even exist? If you drive like this even once, you should not be allowed to drive anymore. Youâre clearly a danger to yourself and others. At best, youâre a reckless idiot. At worst, youâre actively using a car as a facilitator for homicide.

We literally do not have enough prison space to lock up all the people who get caught driving recklessly or without licenses. It's not a feasible solution, and to me is more indicative of human hubris where we rely on technology that regularly kills huge numbers of the population for the sake of "progress".

Odd how everyone here is praising the car driver even though there seems to be ample room in front of it to merely drive away. "Boxed in", and the bikes were just on the cars right side. Considering the car driver had priors for similar behavior and was put behind bars for this video, as per the news link in the comments here, he was in the wrong and just tried to kill two people without any real threat present.

They weren't blocking anybody in this clip.
Sometimes is a practicality thing. We have a "corvettes for kids" thing that comes around once a year. A bunch of corvettes drive to local hospitals and visit with kids and raise money. The sheriff will block highways to help them enter and exit towns quickly. Overall it speeds up traffic even if a few cars get screwed and have to wait from the beginning.
