Re: Cop Rear Ends Motorcycle and Blames the Rider
Cop was following too close, homeboy on the sports bike wasn't using very good lane position - shoulda been on the left hand side not hugging the gutter... n00b  "Uhh, i'm gonna need a new rear wheel, officer... and maybe a neck X-ray!"  |

Re: Cop Rear Ends Motorcycle and Blames the Rider
As a truck driver I spend about 8-10 hours a day driving. Noticing subtle things in traffic is subconscious/instinctive after having done it a few years, so I guess thats why I dont understand why nobody can see what obviously happened here. The biker changed lanes to left and then back right as the white pickup merged to the right turn lane. He then opened it up to close the gap. Just after getting thru the intersection the white sedan turned on his right turn signal, it's hard to see cause of the glare but if you look closely at the area around the sedan you can see the blinking reflection of the turn signal. The biker having just been accelerating to close the gap thought the car might not realize he was accelerating and pop into the lane, and rode the outside of the lane as a defensive maneuver. Both the bike and sedan realized they were ok and there was enough space now, so the sedan started slowly coming over and the bike gave a small amount of throttle to keep a reasonable gap. Then the cars ahead hit their brakes hard, and as the white sedan had already started his merge, the biker had to treat it as tho he was already in the lane. At the point that he slammed on his brakes there was just under a car length between he and the sedan, were it fully in the lane. He gets tapped by the cop and looks back and when the camera pans forward the cars have moved so the gap seems long, but when he actually stopped it was quite close. The biker was using defensive driving skills. The merging sedan was being safe and cautious when trying to change lanes. The cop was a tailgating asshole and a fucking moron. And he KNEW IT. Why do you think he asked "We good?". Have you ever heard a cop present anything in such a manner? If he thought he wasnt at fault he would've ordered him to leave after calling him a moron. If this isn't clear to you then you need to learn how to fucking drive.
