WATCH: Berserk death threat-spewing motorist threatens to ‘pull a Trump’ on bicyclist he cut off

32. Not defending that jerk's behavior, but there is another viewpoint.

I live in a semi-rural area with twisting, two lane roads, steep grades, and infrequent shoulders. Speed limits average around 45mph. California has a relatively new law requiring motorists give bikers 4' of space.

That means I often cannot legally pass a bicycle if he/she is in the lane, as I would have to cross the double yellow. And beyond legality, its just plain stupid to cross the yellow line on a blind corner.

This is very frustrating when you're trying to get somewhere, but end up stuck behind a bicyclist who insists on asserting his right to the lane. There are other routes available, yet they seem to like the beauty and surroundings associated with curvy mountain roads. Jah help you if you get caught behind an entire club!

If a biker cannot keep his tire within a narrow band of several inches, as in on the right side of the white line, then they don't have any business being on that road. Its not that difficult, but does require paying attention. Perhaps the rare commuter is the exception, who has no other form of transportation, but either way, just like an equestrian choosing to ride near a dirt bike track, bikers who choose to ride under such conditions are assuming a high risk, just for their recreation, at the expense of the rest of the community who is just trying to get to work. My heart goes out to that guy I see, using a recumbent hand-pedaled bicycle, but why the fuck is he riding during the morning rush hour? Picture this guy slowly trundling up a hill, with a line of cars stretching around the hills behind him, mostly kids trying to get to the local high school.

And some areas have a very aggressive, "biker mafia" kind of crowd. As in the kind of people who will call your chief at the fire department and file a formal complaint that you were driving the fire engine too fast when you passed them on your way to a call. So sure, the angry guy in the video is whacked out crazy, but it is very possible the bicyclist pulled some stupid shit himself. I mean, he even knows the vehicle code.
