Current Events > Motorcyclist vs Motorists. Who is the more aggressive driver?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Based on your personal experience who makes you the most nervous driving around?

I don't really see any major difference. Some motorists are assholes. Some motorcycle riders are assholes. The majority of both aren't, though.

Now, big pickup truck drivers? Pretty much always choads.

Motorcyclists

you don't see motorcyclists driving off the shoulder to cut you off and immediately brake check you

Motorcycles just watch Moto Madness as example.

I've run into too many jerks on motorcycles speeding like crazy, weaving in and out of traffic in ways that people in cars can't. Fuck those guys.

Yesterday I was behind like 10 bikes, all lined up next to each other, with one behind me, and it was the most annoying fucking thing. Going all over the fucking road.

Cars probably piss me off the most when driving, but motorcycles are definitely overall worse and I'm probably lucky I don't have to deal with many.

You literally have to be aggressive when you ride a motorcycle. How else are some of these clueless drivers going to see them?

By not doing dumb shit like going in and out of traffic, going way faster then need to, or lane splitting?

motorcycles almost always.

Motorcyclists ime are way more aggressive, but usually just weave past everyone and don't stick around for long. Large trucks make me way more nervous to drive around.

Is that all motorcyclists do? What about the ones who ride Goldwings and other dress bikes?

Both are saints compare to cyclists.

They also aggressively rev their engines at yiu for daring following traffic laws.

Dude, they rev their engines because they don't want to stall out.

Motorcycles know everyone is going to be more careful around them so they do the dumbest most aggressive shit possible when driving

Never had much issues with motorcyclists. I do hate those "watch for mototcycles" signs people stick in their yard. No shit, I watch everything on the road you fucking idiot.

Not when you watch videos of them revving at someone that turned into their lane from half a mile away

Usually semi trucks piss me off the most because of how slow they are and how often they cut people off. Then I remember they basically own the road since they live on it and it takes longer for them to pick up speed and have more blind spots.

I usually see motorcyclists as the aggressors on the road, but overall see more aggressive motorists. Motorcyclists make me the most nervous though.

Cyclists are the assholes where I live

Its understandable more so because motorcyclist are less protected then any other driver but they are more the hall monitor of the road then anything. Always quick to call you out on and slight against them but also easily the ones that more abuse the road laws.

motorcycles, but only because i live in SEA.

vietnam was the worst of them though, but it's similar in most other parts of sea.

God damn thats fucked. Where are the traffic lights

Because they're engine braking. When you down shift you need to rev the engine so that the rpms match the new gear. It keeps the ride smooth and prevents the chain from skipping.

Other: Large SUVs and minivans, bonus points if the driver is a female with Starbucks in one hand, iPhone in the other, and sex trophies in the back.

Also, it's safer for them to lanesplit than to not. Cars are constantly just mere seconds away from smashing into a motorcycle because they're hard to see and most people constantly misjudge the distance between their front bumper and the cycles rear tire. If they didn't lane split they wouldn't be able to protect themselves.

no one cares, or if it's red, they just stop in the middle as a motorcyclist.

It's actually insane how unfriendly to pedestrians Vietnam was, you'll have 0 idea how and when to cross.

Im not joking either look up the channel Moto Madness as example like more often then not you see them in the wrong.

He's saying it's cherry picked videos not that it doesn't exist which is true. You also don't need cherry picked footage to know how reckless motorcyclists are

Thing is Moto Madness isn't a channel made to cherry piker bikers, rather it shows their encounters on the road and a vast majority o videos submitted to them makes the bikers come off more in the very wrong.

Dang man, imagine if there existed some sort of repository of car videos showing the same exact thing. They can even make it a subreddit and title it r/idiotsincars or something.
