No I didn't realise that.
I'd rather have slashed tyres than a broken back from an asshole being an asshole in traffic.
Is this a motorbike forum ? Do any of you actually ride in a city ?
I'm giving up riding, because I'm sick of jerks trying to kill me 90% of the time I ride. I was thinking about reporting cars that do it, but that night, a cop nearly hit me from following too close, so what do I do ? Just Die ? If you can't handle a motorbike rider banging on your window, then don't drive dangerously near them to start with. Running them over and probably getting away with it, that's the crime right there.
Yes, I've had people bang on my window plenty of times, I didn't run any of them over.
Once I deserved it, because I didn't see the pedestrians due to the A pillar at night, and I had to stop quicker than comfortable. Someone banged my window said "slow down". Fair enough, that was years ago, point taken.
Another time someone actually blocked me in, was banging on the window was saying to come out and fight, I said "No, I don't want to hurt you or get in trouble", so he tries to slam the door on my head, at that point I do get out hit him once, send him flying, then they call the cops on me. So I'm not scared of a few boys bangin' on the car, I'm definitely not gonna panic and start shooting or running people over like you probably would.
