Motorbike Rider Retaliates After Having His Mirror Clipped By A Truck

Displeased by a truck clipping their wing mirror, this biker decided to respond in kind...

There’s no getting away from it: as a biker, you’re simply much more vulnerable than other road users. As such, when there’s a close call caused by another vehicle, it can often cause anger.

For the perfect example, we have this clip from Changhua City, Taiwan, filmed last week. A lorry is seen driving so close to a motorbike, that the latter vehicle’s mirror is knocked in. The rider then decided to make his displeasure known by ‘returning the favour’.

The moment the rider exacted their revenge...

They’re seen riding up to the side of the truck, and smashing one of its wing mirrors, much to the apparent shock of the driver.

What do you think, CTzens: an overreaction, or were the biker’s actions justified?

You should never react back in anger if anything it only causes more problems. On the road you should try to be the bigger man, yes he hit his wing mirror and was not yielding to him but it isn’t a reason to retaliate and cause more problems.

We should all strive to be more like this! Kill em with kindness and it’s amazing how frequently one gets an apology in return.

As much as I would like to agree with you, when they drive their truck that close to a motorcyclist they are endangering lives. If you do nothing then that person probably doesn’t even realize that they’ve done so, and will continue endangering people. What you do and how you do it I’ll let you decide, but I suggest not just letting it slide. There are many people who need an education in not cluelessly endangering lives.

What made this hilarous to me is the One Punch Man song playing in the background

That’s not how Karma works, my friend.
That’s revenge.

Totally justifiable. I know people say be the bigger man etc. You the truck driver could clearly see the biker and the truck was only a few centimetres for clipping the handle bars which would cause the rider to lose control and potentially have a fatal accident

Plus lets not forget the driver did all that overtaking on the right side, he was automaticaly doing a mistake even before touching the bike
Some people just don’t give a crap about bikers, drivers..all the other people on the road, they only see what they want..

Well I’m not gonna say smashing his mirror was right, he should’ve confronted him. Smashing mirrors seems to be the signature move of hot-headed motorcycle riders.

Pretty common for people on bikes to smack mirrors. Don’t really blame them
