These Bikers Punch A BMW Driver In The Face Then Stare Down The Barrel Of A Gun

The BMW cut off a biker - it's unclear if deliberately or accidentally - causing an angry confrontation. It all escalates at the next red light, and the bikers punch the BMW driver to the ground. At this point, his passenger pulls out a gun...

Road rage is one of those incredibly infuriating things to watch. 99.99 per cent of the time it’s completely pointless and wholly avoidable. That’s the case here, though it’s hard to pinpoint who’s really to blame, so let’s just blame both parties.

It all starts when the BMW either deliberately attempts to block the speeding bikers, or accidentally does so while attempting to get out of their way. When the biker he cuts off lashes out at the car, its driver gives chase, leading to a confrontation at the next red light.

The BMW driver appears to want to resolve things peacefully, telling the bikers to stay where they are, presumably so he can call the police. He attempts to block the biker that swung for his car by standing in front of his bike, when another biker walks over and pushes him away. At this point the driver appears to try to walk away, when he’s sucker punched by one of the gang. The other bikers join in, and that’s when the female passenger climbs out of the BMW, screaming and waving a gun about.

The bikers are complete and utter morons, and were clearly itching for a fight. They’re wholly at fault for allowing things to end up where they did, but if the BMW driver had just let the incident go, none of this would have happened. People do idiotic things on the road all the time, so just let it go. Sure, the guy cut you off, but you were easily able to avoid it - you even had time to throw a punch. And yeah, the guy swung for your car, but he’s clearly an idiot so just leave him to be an idiot. If you really feel the need to get the cops involved, either tail them while you phone it in, or just take a photo of a licence plate and report it later. When you rage on the roads, nobody wins.

You know what else is incredibly infuriating to watch? When someone with no video editing experience blurs out the entire picture instead of taking the time to do it the right way (learn how, get help, etc.) right when important parts of the story are taking place.

We get it, he vapes.

Better than any Soap Opera in the world.

Alright, here we go.

Whether the BMW driver willfully or unintentionally cut off the motorcyclist, he would be wrong. BOTH Look where you’re going AND don’t try to kill people apply.
Although it’s not necessary to tag the mirrors of drivers who screw up and try to kill motorcyclists, it’s done as it’s a much quicker way to make them pay for their mistakes and hopefully think about things next time.
Giving chase in a 3000 lb.+ vehicle to catch motorcyclists is crazy, you will never catch a motorcyclist worth his salt, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, you will do much more damage to people/things with your 3500+ lb. car/truck/van/whatever than will be done with a 450 lb. motorcycle.
You are not aloud to falsely imprison ANYONE. Even if you’re butthurt after someone jack’d your mirror (the thing that should be used when changing lanes).
The woman pulls a gun because now she, too, is butthurt. Her hubby/bf/whatever screwed up, and she can’t accept that. So because your boy got punched in the mouth for being stupid THREE TIMES, you aren’t aloud to try and threaten anyone’s life (AGAIN).
People, non-motorcyclists, please, we deal with near-death everyday from y’all being stupid. You text, call, read, eat, talk, put on makeup, shave, ETC., ETC., ETC., when you should be paying attention to the road. Driving is serious business, if you can’t take it seriously, and play nice, please, get off the road, or deal with the consequences. Don’t get upset because you screwed up. There are consequences, and just because some of us actually make you pay, don’t get butthurt and get extra stupid.

P.S. For anyone wanting me to address the bikers’ style of riding depicted here, keep in mind point 3. And yea, some of us are pretty crazy out there, but let them kill themselves, you don’t have to help . ;)

yes

He had a motorcycle coming up behind him in the left lane, so he moved right where another motorcycle decided to try to fly by at an even higher speed. Unless he was intentionally trying to block the bike, I see nothing wrong with what he did since the left lane is the passing lane and he was allowing someone to pass in the left lane.
His car was hit. He wanted to report it to the police. Sure he was wrong for trying to detain the motorcycle rider, but you still can’t say the rider was right for either fleeing the scene of an accident or trying to get away with destruction of property (depending on how you look at the rider’s actions.)
She didn’t pull the gun because she was butthurt. She pulled it because her husband (or whoever) was getting punched in the head multiple times buy a group of guys wearing hard plastic gloves. She was fully justified as she was in fear for his life and it immediately deescalated the situation potentially saving his life.

The guy made multiple mistakes. There’s no denying that, but for you to try to excuse the biker’s actions is absurd. If you ride or act the way these guys do, I hope you don’t end up splattered on the highway or shot by someone with less restraint than that woman.
