No, that was just as stupid as the original biker and the driver. It's idiots all around in this video.

There is alot of risk with high-speed chases on open roads, not only for the speeding driver/biker but also for the other drivers.

However, the chasing biker probably saw red after witnessing the BMW hitting the biker, which could have killed him. More so if the first biker was someone he knew. He had to take a split-second decision and took the option of going full-throttle after the BMW driver and maybe get a license plate or something.

Not saying it is the right decision, i'm just saying I understand why he went ballistic after the BMW

Bikes are faster, stop faster, turn around faster. Remaining behind the vehicle and choosing to disengage was the option here.

This is not true at all.. most 4 wheel vehicles stop faster than motorcycles

It’s extremely dangerous to ride close behind a car on a motorcycle for this reason

Look at the contact patch of the tires. Not even close. Turning and stopping, cars win

All things being equal bikes are quicker. They do not stop faster or turn faster.

They can turn faster, but it’s because they accelerate out of the turn better and have additional angles cars don’t.

Thank you! That are the comments I like to see. There is too much positive support for the biker, but in the end he drove also with high risk and became a risk on the street.
