A Motorcycle Dude Kinda Almost Got Hit By An Old Lady, Proceeded To Ride Like A Crazy Person To Chase Her Down And Berate Her
As a person whose early excellence in foot-based sports kept me from taking an interest in bikes, I almost always take the side of the person behind the wheel of the car in any automobile-motorcycle situation. But going into this, seeing an old lady driver almost hitting the guy, I was fully ready to take his side. Old people drivers are always an issue, old lady drivers probably 10x that based on the years of evidence we have showing them crashing into objects, people, and anything imaginable.
But you see this dude’s reaction, how carefully the old lady was taking the turn (even if she was being a potentially murderous old lady driver), and then her “old lady in all the Hallmark cards” face:
And I dunno man, between that and the motorcycle dude’s endless tirade at her expense, it pains me but I think I have to take the side of the elderly female driver. He’s just so angry even though it seemed like the lady handled that about as well as she could. It’s a clash of titans of people you never really want to see on the road between an elderly woman wearing blind people sunglasses and a hardo motorcycle dude who might have some serious rage issues…but in this case I’m firmly team old lady. But I reserve the right to rescind that stance when she backs into a laundromat and kills five people when she confuses reverse and drive like she’s behind the wheel of a flight simulator.
