1. In first few months of riding, I was out on some country roads. I'd be surprised if I was even going the speed limit, due to having never been on the roads before, and being so new to riding. I was following the curve in the road to the left when a truck crested the hill coming towards me. When the truck was near me, they jerked the wheel to come at me so hard they ran off the road on my side. I rode faster than I had yet just to get away before they got back on the road. Don't know why it happened. Personally, I don't care if they were upset by other motorcyclists on the road that day.
2. On a road merging from two lanes in my direction down to 1. I took my turn with the alternating traffic and had merged, not cutting anyone off. The BMW behind me, after merging, decided they wanted to be where I was. They crossed the double yellow line at that point into oncoming traffic, accelerated till they were beside me, and then just tried to push me off the road, with my girlfriend on the back. I had not been interacting with them in any other fashion in that traffic. Again, I don't care why they tried to run me over, or what their motivation was.
3. At a red light, there was a car stopped in the right lane when I arrived at the intersection in the left lane. No interaction between me and the cager at all. I noticed that they started inching forwards more and more, till they were in the middle of the intersection with the light still red. I figured there were perturbed about something, so when the light turned green, I hesitated. They jerked the wheel to the right and immediately took the place where I would've been if I'd have taken off when the light turned green. It was almost like they had the wheel at full lock to the left, and when the light turned green they just floored it, trying to hit me if I moved. I then passed them on the right and took off because again, I didn't care what their motivation was. Maybe they were ****ed at other bikers. Maybe they hoped to knock me down, and then have someone else in the car steel the bike, or rob me.
Now, I agree with taking it to the track. I agree that people that live with the retard squids doing road racing where they live might be upset. I get upset with those riders around here. But the driver of the truck in that video is 100% wrong, and 100% at fault for his actions and reactions.
I like to live by the motto of "Don't poke the crazy", but I'm also not going to just let people run me over so I can be the bigger person and let the idiots go unhindered.
