How mad is this?
You'd think a pensioner would have gained enough life experience to exhibit better judgement...

What a bleedin idiot.!! He deserves that punishment even if he's a pensioner. He could have killed not only the guy on the bike but anyone else "in his way" on his rampage Obviously he wasn't thinking straight but no excuse. As you say he should have known better but just cause you're a pensioner don't mean you can't be a fucking knob.!!!!!!

I could understand the fella if it was his mother in law on the bike
I bet his favourite film is “Dune “

Nothing surprises me since reading about some people getting into fist fights over toilet rolls

Ok , so the guy lost the plot , but the motorcyclist aint blameless either.
I , as a motorcyclist of 50 odd years , would not do what the biker did for the same reason I wouldnt just shove in at the head of the que at the supermarket . I also dont ride up between lanes of traffic not only coz it rude but also damn dangerous. As someone with very little in the way of air bags and intrusion beams ,a biker should be aware that doing something totally unexpected is often a major ingredient in "get togethers " between bikes and other vehicles .
Unless that biker changes his attitude he will get bowled of his bike , and even if he is legally and morally in the right it wont help when the meat hits the metal .

Agreed. They pulled in front, blocking him, then gave him the finger.... not justifying what he did, but I can see why he was pissed off. "Cyclists are allowed to do that" But you`re not on your pushbike now are you? You can`t use the pavement, ignore red lights, cycle whilst texting - motorcyclists are supposed to follow the law/highway code.

() dont get me started on cyclists

Well no surprise there with the police not doing anything and the 2nd one with the wheel coming off the truck , hope the people were ok .

!st clip will be H&S - they won`t be able to pursue in case the poor (vulnerable) biker injures himself... Demonstrates that there`s a generation/demographic with no fear of, or respect for, authority of any kind.
2nd clip is an example of just why MOTs are so important.

Ha ha ha , I dun them wheelie things several times .....inc goin right over backwards .
I got a careless use charge dropped in court when I argued that in spite of the cops assertations I was in fact in remarkably good control of my motorcycle ,as described in the evidence .......arseholes still did me for speeding tho .
Now that I have got older .......yeah , there's a time and place for this sort of thing
