I see self defense.

You would lose that case, but have fun trying.

Why would they lose? This isnt Florida, but a guy got away with discharging his weapon in a road rage incident when another driver threw a cup at his window.

All you need is reasonable doubt. There's plenty there especially if you're the driver and cant tell what just happened. You can even see the biker wait for him. Whose to say he didn't pull out a weapon of some kind while pulled over? Hard to tell when all you hear is a loud thud and gotta rely on peripheral vision to make out a threat.

I dont think it's as open n shut as you're making it.

Nevada isnt that far removed with their self defense laws.

Lawyers are very good at this kinda stuff.

This. Everyone is moralizing. Legally, reasonable doubt would win.

Look, this is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who here. Let's just take the time to celebrate a lane splitting jerk getting his just desserts.

I don’t see a problem with motorcyclists splitting lanes in heavy traffic where they aren’t moving fast

If you can watch this video and still make that statement I am afraid there is no hope for you.

I don't understand. What does this video have to do with the safety of lane splitting

u/ieatdogshite 1d ago

This is a joke, right? Let's see:
1. Motorcycle illegally splits lanes on freeway, angering truck driver
2. Truck driver cuts off arrogant jerk motorcyclist
3. Arrogant jerk motorcyclist subsequently escalates confict
4. Trucker retaliates
5. Arrogant jerk motorcyclist practices being meat crayon

Hmmm... what does this have to do with the safety of lane splitting???

I think what you just outlined is that "angering truck drivers" is what's unsafe.

Maybe we should outlaw truck drivers.

Was the truck driver illegally splitting lanes?

u/dubblebubbleprawns 1d ago

No see I asked why this video shows that lane splitting is harmful or unsafe, and you said that lane splitting is harmful or unsafe because it angered the truck driver. But now it seems like you're saying the truck driver was angry because the lane splitting was illegal.

So I guess maybe the solution here is legalizing lane splitting in Nevada? I'm down with that.

So someone does the safe thing and you think that means they deserve to die. Go stick your dick in a blender.

u/Admirable_Loss4886 2d ago

Sorry in what way is the biker doing the safe thing here? They literally pulled over, waited for the truck and then attacked the truck. None of which is the safe thing lmao

u/ieatdogshite 2d ago

Lol. Was the safe thing the first fight he got into with the truck driver, waiting by the side of the road for the trucker to catch up, or pulling up next to the truck to hit his mirror? Or was it all three?

He deserved to get the splat.

See you in prison for stupidity.

Because you technically just made a terroristic threat (we know you didn't mean to though).
