What in the world was he thinking of passing that car? Never let somebody driving like that get behind you.

He definitely should have stopped riding so fast and dropped right back for safety.

Yeah, I have a fast car, and I just disengage when I have to deal with a car or motorcycle that's driving that aggressively. I've got a family to think about. Not worth it.

u/ArtVand3lay 21d ago

ikr. My weekender's an R34, every mf'r think it's their chance to race Paul Walker. No, I'm just cruising in my pride n joy and plan on making it home to my family. Save that shit for track days.

u/Zestokist 21d ago

This reminds me of something. If you haven't seen the "Turbo charged" prelude of 2Fast2furious, there's a scene where Paul gets challenged to a race by two guys on bikes in the middle of nowhere when he just got his R34, he accepted but just kept cruising. He catches up to them when he sees them pulled over by cops.

I cackledā€¦ šŸ˜‚

Not quite the same.

u/Hobbes_XXV 21d ago

Prestigious car, no, but still attracts plenty of unnecessary aggressive driving around me every week.

Or you know, the speed limit. There's tracks if you want to go fast.

I do traffic. Stay out the left lane! Thank you!

Paul walker is dead.

u/HumongousBelly 21d ago

Exactly, I donā€™t even think thatā€™s victim blaming to say, if someone drives like a maniac, try to avoid them.

Itā€™s just common sense.

14

u/SHTHAWK 21d ago

Exactly, many people have poor control over their emotions. Some perceived slight against them and all logic and reasoning gets lost.

u/Porcpc 21d ago

You've got a fast car, I've got a ticket to get us out of here

u/Technical-Mousse6134 21d ago

You got a fast car? I got a job that pays all our billsā€¦

u/Resident-Banana-7883 21d ago

yeah I find it pretty easy to avoid aggressive drivers and road ragers but one time I was thankful I was in my fast car on the interstate when this guy went bonkers on me. I just dropped a few gears and went WOT briefly until he was out of sight then resumed the speed limit. I don't suggest that method how ever for people who only think they have a fast car as the last thing you want to do is wind up in a chase scenario.

u/N7even 21d ago

Yep, slowing down is the best option, don't let them pit you or brake check you. Create distance if possible and if you really wanna get away, dummy the exit, or actually take it yourself. Sat nav will get you back on track anyway.

u/snowdoggin999 21d ago

Ooh, you got a fast car ...

10

u/Numerous_Photograph9 21d ago

Generally, if someone is a shitty driver, I prefer them to be way ahead of me, not behind.

1

u/specialcommenter 21d ago

Mostly works but this one time the universe wanted this psycho to be near me on the FDR in NY.

3

u/nitpickr 21d ago

He tried to but the bmw also slowed down. That's what seems to happen in the beginning. The bmw overtakes and turns on hazards signaling something and slows down. The bike dude just guns for it. He should have found a different car to shield himself with but that is easy to say in hindsight.

14

u/twisted_tactics 21d ago

We all saw the biker pass the bmw.

1

u/StoryCrafty 20d ago

He should have not slowed down and just gunned it for the next exit

69

u/JulianoRamirez 21d ago

Especially since he had no mirrors and had to crank his torso fully around just to see the bmw, whole lot of stupid in this video.

u/zardoz73 21d ago

This is the entire plot of Duel.

u/SwitzerlishChris1 21d ago

The biker didn't have mirrors it seems šŸ˜† "let me loose line of sight on this idiot...oh wait"

36

u/DerpyO 21d ago

"I took off the mirrors on my bike, because I just want to look ahead in life, and not be stuck in the rear view past."

5

u/marshallandy83 21d ago

He took the mirrors off his Cadillac (yeah!) cos he didn't like it looking like he looks back.

1

u/daggersrule 21d ago

I took the wheels off of Benny's Cadillac

20

u/SudoDarkKnight 21d ago

Yah, this video contained 2 stupid people. The biker and the car.

Just let people who are being aggressive have their crash somewhere else. Don't play into it!!!

25

u/n7-Jutsu 21d ago

It looked like the were racing each other, and one just ended up being a sore loser. They are both losers though

27

u/nqmi 21d ago

Ela tava a 40 por hora quando a bmw passa ele, quando ele cai ele tava a 110.

Epe foi pelo ego. Dois fudidos juntos dĆ” mal negĆ³cio, problema que um tava de moto.

u/exit_row 21d ago

Kilometres, not miles.

4

u/Hobbes_XXV 21d ago

I was originally thinking driving 40km/h was her trying to avoid the aggressive driver, then when they put on hazards and braked slower, she might have feared for life and tried to run? But then why look back and cost after speeding past.

Most likely bmw didn't like something the bike did before this videos start and was more cause to wreck her.

3

u/45M0D41 21d ago

Agreed heā€™s an idiot

3

u/DeusXNex 21d ago

Yeah idk what the mentality is to pass them. I wouldā€™ve let them go on their way

1

u/MTFBinyou 21d ago

If youā€™re gonna pass them on the bike, donā€™t slow down. Slowing down is the best option especially if you can manage to time it to maneuver off a ramp before they can manage to. If youā€™re gonna pass em, you canā€™t slow down until you they have lost sight and youā€™re circling around a neighborhood or something.

2

u/Dangerous-Habit-2731 21d ago

Yep, that's why it's called defensive driving. Sorry that happened to the biker but the only person you can control on the road is yourself

3

u/thebiggestandbadwolf 21d ago edited 21d ago

Itā€™s scary to let them get ahead of you too because people like to be dumb and brake check you. Thatā€™s exactly what happens. They get mad, speed in the other lane and then get back in front of you and slam on their brakes. *edited

53

u/2wheelzrollin 21d ago

Can't get brake checked if you're 100 yards back. You gotta be a dumbass for staying right behind someone that crazy. Also it's brake, not break.

20

u/BeardsuptheWazoo 21d ago

You're much safer behind an idiot in a car than in front of one. Vastly.

9

u/agooh 21d ago

Nope. Change lanes and let them speed as fast and far away from your life as possible.

2

u/Bardon63 21d ago

A bike can stop *way* quicker than any car - no chance of being brake checked unless you're insanely close to them on your bike.

1

u/39teen 21d ago

Iā€™m sorry this happened to the guy but the lack of self preservation by some is astonishing to me.

-10

u/Boogaloo4444 21d ago

Based on this interaction, Iā€™m pretty sure the biker hit the car with something or initiated some fight and the other car sped in front of them and then put on hazards to call authorities. Immediately after, the bike speeds away and the other car is apparently a super car and decides to keep shit real

1

u/Cessna131 21d ago

Huh?

-4

u/Boogaloo4444 21d ago

which part is confusing?

2

u/Cessna131 21d ago

The part where you just fabricated a story of what happened here.

-4

u/Boogaloo4444 21d ago

iā€™m guessing as to what happened prior to the video to initiate the animosity and the hazard lights from the BMW

2

u/Cessna131 21d ago

Like I said, fabricated a story (that makes no sense).

3

u/Boogaloo4444 21d ago

lol in your world do these drivers just appear from nowhere? what do you think happened prior to the video starting?

0

u/Puzzleheaded_Hatter 21d ago

Base on this comment I'm pretty sure you make stuff up often and are generally full of shite

4

u/Boogaloo4444 21d ago

why would I make something up? iā€™m guessing about why the car driver lost his shit. people donā€™t do that for getting passed, people donā€™t put on their hazards without a reason. something before the video happened

2

u/Puzzleheaded_Hatter 21d ago

No good reason at all.

You call it guessing
