    Default Driver Too Close To The Rider

    According to the bicyclist, when the driver finally overtook the bicyclists, the bicyclist actually had to put his hand on the motor vehicle to prevent a collision. Thats too close and a violation. I don't know if they have video of that part of the encounter, but there might be fingerprints. At least nobody was injured. How would you feel if your kid was riding the bike, in this motor vehicles next encounter with a bicyclist?

    My kid won't be a dipshit and spend an entire day riding his bike on 2 lane roads where vehicles are doing highway speeds. When he is an adult he can choose for himself and put his life at risk. These guys should have never been on that road to begin with. These guys didn't pull off to the side of the road when a car is honking at them. Why not take the quickest turnoff or dirt patch and stop your bike and get off. instead they continued to ride. The motorist, per the law did what he was supposed to do. He didn't pass them in the video. He honked like he was supposed to. The bikers didn't move over. I hope to see the bikers get a ticket, not the driver.

    In the bikers mind they feel like they own the road. That is great in theory but they WILL lose if they get run over. The guy in the vehicle may or may not get in trouble but his body and his life are protected by a lot of steel. The ultralight bikes out there aren't going to save a bikers ass. The bikers need to think about that and GTF off the road and out of the way when vehicles are approaching.

    It reminds me of the Ron White skit about the guy saying he can take on hurricane force winds. Same with these guys...I can pedal for days, I can ride 65mph down curving roads and blow through stop signs without getting ticketed.....yeah well you got a peterbuilt up your ass and a handlebar sticking out of your wind pipe.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.
