Poor kid must be embarrassed or used to it from his dad.
So, who was he? He seemed kind of proud that he knew who he was. I was kind of proud that I knew who I was after I smacked my brain. Good for him. |

There is no amount of gear that would protect you from a disgruntle driver.
The rider should have just avoided the continued argument. He's lucky the driver did not run him over. But he has enough footage to report the driver to the Police. ps: Who is he? The driver? |

I just Googled his name. Apparently, he's famous! Well, famous because of this video. Does that mean he's become his own meme?

I watched and listened to the video but between my crappy computer speakers, my barely adequate hearing aids and the British verbiage, I couldn't make out too much. However, I couldn't understand why the biker continued to converse with the obviously pissed-off driver. That scenario could have turned deadly in a matter of seconds. I would have retreated with dignity and sped off as fast as I could.

At the end, what's his name had to turn around and go back to his original route. Going out of your way to show someone how pissed you are. Oxymoron

That rider is enjoying himself, egging him on for the camera. We're going to be seeing more and more of this.
The poor woman is hoping she remembered to buy some fish fingers or she's next. |

Sigh everybody knows who I am out here. Maybe I should act like an asshole. Then nobody would know me seriously. I went to a town meeting. Hadn't been in a while. No less than half the people there(30 people) knew me from my Vespa. One looked surprised that I could get to downtown near the palace. I'll sic Da Hui on Ricky Ricardo or whatever
his name and then he'll never be forgotten. I can't do a damn thing without somebody reminding me. Gotta love small towns |
RIP

I watched less than a minute of the video and felt I understood why the driver was so pissed off. If you're going to pull to the front of a queue then pull away smartly. My grandmother could of pulled onto the roundabout in the gaps that rider waited for. Same thing again when turning at that first junction - he let two huge gaps go past but was completely blocking all the traffic on his side of the road from getting past him. I appreciate it's raining and likely slippery but then why pull to the front of the queue and needlessly delay everyone else? If you feel confident then go for it, if you don't then just hang back and don't annoy others. In his favour he did handle the argument quite well.
PS I'm now patiently waiting for Ronald Pickering to be inserted into the (Robert Paulson) Fight Club scene. |

Lord Pickering?
Looks like the bar is set too low. Since we aren't allow to split lanes where I ride the subtleties of such are a bit foreign to me. It did seem that his lordship started honking straightaway when the rider pulled in front of him in traffic, well before he was in the que to enter the roundabout. |
