Ya noticed the skinny redneck after the headbutt was all talk and no action afterwards. If he had any balls, he would've scuffled. I'd keep head butting him unconscious to shut him up. Just today had similar incident coming back from gettting rear tire changed. A-hole never looked in crossing road and pulled out right in front of me going 55 mph. Luckily, I swerved over into the far right lane not knowing if someone was over there or not at the last second and missed him by a few feet. I slowed down and turned around and beeped horn and flipped him off right in front of him then took off way in front. I was pissed. He never followed too closely to me after that. If he would have, I would have either blew way past him or stopped immediately alongside road and waited for him to stop. Then, game on! Now thanks to this posting I have anohter good use out of my helmet. |

In all seriousness, getting in a roadside dispute is a very bad idea (esp if you are alone). You never know what kind of psycho(s) you may be dealing with, or if he/she/other is armed. Even if you lawfully defend yourself with lethal force....... welcome to the criminal justice system. Who started it?
He did, by coming over in my lane.
I mean after that (and you could have left), who started the fight? Well........
Ever hear the stories about the valiant cop saving the woman from a lethal beating from an enraged crackhead, only to have the abused woman shoot him in the back? (they're true) |

Haven't we all had something similar happen ? It happens around here quite often and when it does I just keep going and not worry about it.
Who knows what led up to that, but, if I was the truck driver I would have been apologizing had I been at fault. Seems like there may be more than the video shows.
But, I'm glad I wear a helmet since I've seen a new use for it.

Reminds me of the 24 driver some years back when he started the B/S. NEVER took his helmet off. He was ASKEERED of gittin his face punched. Saw in the video the dude advancing with his lid and I KNEW what was coming and WHO was onna git it!  As IF we NEEDED more proof-THEY are out to et us!  RIDE SAFE. |

Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous.
It is however, extremely unforgiving of: inattention, ignorance, incompetence or stupidity.

I probably would have done the same thing. But it probably wasn't wise to turn around and confront them. Maybe stopping and calling the police, I don't know. Like I said, in the heat of the moment I probably would have turned around also.  |
