who's at fault

[Smittie61984]

Hahahaha. I love the brake check.

If it was me it would have been over at the push. I'd beat his face in and then run over his bike multiple times with my truck.

Oh. And the riding my ass part. I don't give a fuck if you are on a motorcycle or not. Try to "Intimidate" me by getting on my ass I'll lock the brakes down until we stop or you're eating my trailer hitch or flying through my back windsheild. I fucking can't stand it when people get on my ass.

No doubt about it being the bikes fault.

100% with you buddy! If you get on my ass like that,I can just about guarantee a brake check is in your future.

I don't know what started it but I can guess that the cager either was tailgaiting or honked at the biker. The biker got angry and stopped his bike and approached the car driver which can be construed as an aggressive act and which precipitated the shove. Then the biker got in the the cager's face again. The cager wisely got back into his car and the "accident" ensued...

Last I checked,the vehicle in front is not required to "justify" it's reason for stopping,it is up to the following vehicles to leave adequate distance to avoid a collision. Biker was completely at fault.

I can only speak for Oregon... but they have two different laws that i'm aware of that you can get in trouble for this move for. 1. Road Rage. brake check'n is specifically listed as a road rage action in the law. 2. not sure what the name is... but basically it's intent to cause an accident. usually for insurance fraud.

and the fact that he fled the scene, and had the initial altercation, dude would be fucked on a Road Rage charge. But then again... in Oregon, the biker would be charged too.

I'm a pretty calm driver and I don't get angry when someone makes a mistake. Even when someone pulls out in front of me while I'm on my motorcycle. I just chalk it up to another day on the road. Infact I had a guy rearend me at a redlight one time. I had my bike rack on with no bikes in it and it didn't do any damage to me. I asked the guy if he was okay and needed anything (His front bumper was mucked up some) and he said he was fine. Then we went our seperate ways.

But show aggression to me and I'll dish out my extra strength crazy. My other major pet peeve is when people block the intersections knowing they are going to get a red light. I'll wreck my damn truck over that.

I scared the shit out of a woman by doing that... the light was yellow and she could roll forward 2 feet... yet she still did it... made me wait through TWO fucking lights because of her... so for the second light... (I was in my friends lifted superduty... I dumped the clutch and smoked the tires up to about a foot from her door.... I couldn't see her face but I could still hear the screaming over the diesel engine

The guy in the car was at fault for trying to look like a toughguy while driving an Eclipse. The dude on the bike can't have been riding for more than two days if he didn't see that brakecheck coming...

I use to have an Xterra with a brush gaurd on the front. Some asshole decided to do that and blocked my road. Which he waited at the line but once the light turned yellow he went ahead and blocked the hell out of the intersection.

Here is the google street view. I was were the white car was and was going straight across. He was smack dab in the middle of my lane going the same direction as the yellow chevy truck. I probably came within 2ft of creaming the car. But they ducked out of the way towards the ditch. Bet that Volvo will think twice next time it sees a Yellow Xterra sitting at a redlight.
