A motorcyclist was left clinging on to a car windscreen after an angry driver rammed into him in a shocking road rage attack in Brazil.

The whole episode was captured on camera by a member of the public and has now been posted on You Tube.

Video footage shows a woman driver ploughing her silver four-wheel-drive straight into him before crashing her car following an altercation at traffic lights.

It appears that the rider had angered the driver by kicking her vehicle and arguing with her after he tried to squeeze through a gap while stopped at a traffic light on a three-lane highway.

The 4WD driver then suddenly hits the accelerator and steers into the motorbike, which is pushed into the middle lane, narrowly missing another vehicle.

The biker, wearing a black leather jacket and blue denim jeans, abandons his bike, which topples on to the road, and then marches towards the 4WD to confront the driver...

...After the car crashes at the side of the road, the rider attempts to grab the dark haired woman through her car window, before onlookers intervene and he walks away.

If you watch enough of these road rage and accident videos - you won’t feel comfortable sitting in a car anymore.

I watched the video 3 times and I can't tell which way the motorcyclist wanted to go. Was he in the center lane and wanted to get in the right lane and she wouldn't let him? I am careful not to hit anyone, car or motorcycle but motorcycle riders sure make that difficult sometimes. If he was going up the stripe trying to get to the head of the line, he was wrong and I have seen that activity more than once.

It can't be stopped so today I've decided to embrace societal breakdown. It's entertaining as heck and participation is often an option.

Why fret? Let the church roll on!

Both of them need to be summarily executed

So far, Laz, you are the only poster to offer a solution.

I can’t say whether or not I would have done the same thing as the woman did... kick my car in a hissy fit of anger and watch what happens

Try to remember folks, this was in Brazil, not the US (sorry if your post was sarcasm and I missed it).

I’ve been to a few countries in South America and driving around there can be best described as “organized chaos”. The motorcyclist wasn’t doing anything wrong, in fact (as rawhide mentioned) it’s not really illegal even in the US.

I chalk this up to a situation where the driver was having a bad day and raged on the motorcyclist. He had a chip on his shoulder and kicked the car. Unfortunately, he may as well have been kicking a bear and should have known better. The rest of the story explains itself.

A biker “filtering” like that is risking putting a scrape down the side of either of the cars, if he miscalculates just a bit. Just trying that stunt only inches from my car pisses me off.

I would guess that the woman made a comment that the biker didn’t appreciate, and he committed the first actual offense by kicking her car.

That doesn’t justify what she did, but I can understand why she was pissed.

They’re both jerks.

I notice that you are now using a double-lined box around your pearls of wisdom.

What's the matter?

Weren't you getting enough attention with only a single-lined box?

Is that a personal threat of violence?

Because if it is, I can match anything you’ve got.
