According to the tape, the motorcyclist kicked the driver’s door, the driver lost control, and other vehicles were struck. Motorcyclist drives off leaving injured behind. Motorcyclist is going to prison, and is going to get sued. I know you all think you know what you saw, but you haven’t seen it with his lawyer explaining it.
REading the description, it sounds like they were going at each other verbally before the recording began, but the motorcyclist is the one who ramped it up with physical contact.
To be frank, I’d have done exactly what the guy in the car did, except I wouldn’t have lost control. It was clearly a self defense move. And being bigger does not take away your right to self defense.
Not that the guy in the car was not part of the problem, but what do you do when someone, at speed, kicks in your door. What you do is try to take him out.
