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.

    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By matthiew · Posted

      When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By matthiew · Posted

      I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      By matthiew · Posted

      Not surprising at all. Apple got three months worth of marketing hype with the Macbook Neo's incredible low launch price. They have sowed the idea that the Neo is the best value laptop and that idea will last for years even though the value is no longer there. They do this every five years or so with a single new product that is amazing value which distracts from the rest of their products being horrendously overpriced.
