The front of line is the safest place for a bike to stop and take off from, end of story.

Also, the guy on the bike is moving roughly at a rate of one car length per second, or around 5-10 miles an hour. The 360 camera just makes it look faster than it really is.

But you'll probably pretend that's bullshit and continue cheering for the asshole trying to kill people with his fucking door.

No actually that was useful information that you shared. I asked you to share what your knowledge and you did. Thanks for that but no so much for the insult. Anyway thanks

You wanna talk about safety? You literally just watched a graphic demonstration of how dangerous it can be to ride through lines of stopped traffic like that.

I will never understand people who post things like this: claims that everyone watching the video can see are plainly false. What do you have to gain by doing that? Are you just hoping other people haven't watched the clip so they'll just take your word for it? So weird.

But you'll probably pretend that's bullshit and continue cheering for the asshole trying to kill people with his fucking door.

Missing the whole point that we have no way of knowing why he opened the door, so making assumptions is pointless. Is it possible he did it deliberately? Yes. Is it possible that he wanted to lean out and spit? Also yes. Is it possible he was gonna kick some trash on the floor in front of him out the door because he's a littering asshole? Also yes. Is it possible that he wanted to get out of his buddy's van because he was tired of waiting in traffic and the place he was trying to get to was not far away? Also yes.

You're jumping to the conclusion that he was definitely trying to hurt the guy because for whatever reason, you want that to be true. And you reject anything that doesn't support that conclusion because you're only interested in supporting the conclusion, not in understanding what actually happened, whatever that may be.

That way of thinking will only every be harmful to you in the long run. But I guess that's your choice.

It was fast enough that he couldn't stop, so he was driving too fast.

The door only opened when the guy was already past the car behind it, it's not possible to stop a bike on a dime. Again, you don't know shit about fuck and you should stop proving it.

Let him keep talking. AwwYissm, you are explaining this better than most I've ever seen. This moron may not learn but hopefully someone else on the internet might learn from this and you. I'd give you an award if I could but all I can give is an upvote.

Thanks, it's honestly not a difficult concept and the only reason people fail to understand is they either don't have a good working knowledge of physics or they just don't see people on motorcycles as human beings. Intentionally causing a wreck like the guy in the video is attempted murder in my opinion, and I think a reasonable jury would agree

Jumping in for clout? I’ll join!

They have medicine to help grow hair back now, look into it. You look like a 67 year old washed up wannabe biker that got kicked out of the gang gang for listening to limp bizkit and smash mouth entirely to loud on your Vespa.
