The way I see it, why the f*** did he kick her car in the first place? They both are idiots as far as I am concerned!

Because she's crowding him. He deserves a little space. And she probably yelled something at him. Anyway, there is a big difference between a relatively harmless kick and attempted murder (assault with a deadly weapon).

Bit I have to take up "He deserves a little space"... No - legally he should wait in the queue like the other drivers.

That is true, if that is the case. I can't really tell from the video. It almost looks like he was there first, and she's trying to pass him on the right and run him to the middle, but it could also be that he's skipping ahead.

I think the woman is a psycho. She was crowding him, and him kicking her car was not a wise move. Bit I have to take up "He deserves a little space"... No - legally he should wait in the queue like the other drivers.

I think in most of these countries it's legal to split traffic at a safe speed (10 or 15 mph or something like that). However he clearly provoked her by kicking her car (probably in response to something she yelled), I would of just flipped her the bird and kept going. Although I wouldn't be supervised if only flipping her off also evoked a similar response from the crazed b///h. Hopefully she was charged with attempted man slaughter or something like that, and hopefully the biker also was charged with something as appropriate (property damage?).

Either way this shows the contempt that some (most?) 4 wheel vehicle divers have over motorcycle riders.

From https://en.wikipedia.../Lane_splitting

If someone pulled that crap then kicked my car I'd run his ass down too, it is explicitly illegal where I live and I won't tolerate someone throwing a temper-tantrum if I tell them off for it.

edit: Evidently this site doesn't like bullet points :/

Why do people think its ok to crowd motorcycles? If your not paying attention and jump forward that guy and his bike can be done. When you come up on a bike stay a half a cars length back. Ive gotten upset with drivers several time for almost touching my tire, wtf stay back im not protected buy a steel cage. Do it out of courtesy, people on bikes know the dangers drivers pose and we like living just as much as drivers.

    • Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a bunch of Dolby Atmos soundbar deals with several ones from Sony, as well as from JBL, Samsung, Polk Audio, and more. You can check them out in this dedicated piece. Those are not audiophile category speakers though as they are built with home theater use in mind. If you are searching for the former then Edifier has its S3000MKII at its lowest price at the moment (purchase link under the specs table down below). This is a two-way bookshelf monitor speaker designed to produce accurate sound. While it may not produce the best high-fidelity audio possible out there, it should still be significantly better than what you will get on soundbars of this price range. As such it will do justice to high-res audio played back through it. The only thing that may feel lacking is sub-bass as Edifier claims the unit can go down to 38 Hz, which should be enough for studio monitor purposes, but not for deep room-shaking rumbling bass. Where this does excel though is in its treble reproduction. With its super-tweeter, it claims to go as high as 40 kHz in the frequency spectrum, which should offer a sense of "air"yness. This is an active speaker which means it packs its own amplfication. It has a top-notch Class D amp that may be able to rival many Class AB designs too in terms of sound reproduction quality. The technical specs of the Edifier S3000MKII are given in the table below: Specification Value RMS Output Power 256W RMS (Treble: 8W × 2, Mid-Low: 120W × 2) Tweeter Driver 107mm × 107mm Planar Magnetic Tweeter Mid-Low Driver 6.5-inch (179mm) Long-Throw Aluminum Diaphragm Driver Frequency Response 38Hz – 40kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio ≥ 85dB (A) Bluetooth Version Bluetooth 5.0 Bluetooth Codec Qualcomm® aptX™ HD Wireless Speaker Link Proprietary 5.8GHz wireless connection between speakers Supported Hi-Res Audio Hi-Res Audio Certified, up to 24-bit/192kHz Digital Processing XMOS XU216 Digital Signal Processor Audio Inputs Balanced XLR, Optical, Coaxial, USB Type-B, Line In, Bluetooth Input Sensitivity (USB) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Optical) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Coaxial) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Bluetooth) 450 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Balanced XLR) 1000 ± 50mV Input Sensitivity (Line In) 600 ± 50mV ADC Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DSP Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DIX Capability Up to 24-bit/216kHz DAC Capability Up to 32-bit/384kHz XMOS Processing Power Up to 2,000 MIPS Edifier S3000MKII Audiophile Active (Powered) Wireless Speakers: $799.99 (Sold by Edifier US, Shipped by Amazon US) If you do not have the kind of budget to spend on the S3000MKII, you can also check out the Edifier R1280Ts which is right now on sale at just $114 (its lowest price in a very long time).
