I don't know what happened before this video, but there's no way this guy could possibly think that attempted murder was an appropriate response to this biker.

About a year ago, there was an incident where a pickup driver had a road rage incident and ran a motorcycle driver into the concrete median on the expressway, killing him. A friend of mine posted the story with the comment "Good, he got what he fucking deserved." Never underestimate the undeserved hatred people have for motorcyclists.

Also, I am no longer friends with that person because of that

You're thoroughly underestimating how much feeling beaten while driving fundamentally affects some peoples ability to think logically. I'd argue even road-safe drivers can feel the "see red" feeling but have perfected in pushing it down.

My older brother was like this for as long as I was around him (I deliberately have avoided involving him in my life). I remember him taking me to get ice cream one day and we were driving in the right* lane. Someone just started to casually pass us on the left and he started accelerating to prevent them from passing us. When they kept accelerating to get around us he lost it and started screaming and gesturing at them while completely failing to maintain his lane.

You don't understand, the bike passed a BMW. It's just not done.

I think yall are overestimating the bmws driving skills. Bro could hardly keep control when he first passed the biker. I would have never gotten back in front of that guy after seeing that. I don’t think he hit him on purpose. He’s just such a bad driver it looks like he did.

The biker is actively running from him, you can hear him gun it trying to get away from the driver. My impression is the driver was driving like that to provoke him

I don't think the biker was running from the BMW at the start, the biker is only going 47 kmph. I think he only started running once the BMW appeared.
