It doesn't matter if the rider cross the double line, there is no reason to try to kill someone because you're pissed. He could of bite his tongue and let the heat cool off instead of being an animal.

It is actually NOT illegal to cross a double yellow line. It varies state by state. Most states abide by you can cross a double yellow line to only turn into a drive way or a U turn. Many states like NY (upstate NY, NOT NYC) you can cross a double yellow line to pass a vehicle that is yielding or incapacitated vehicle which IF a vehicle was driving 20 below a 45mph speed limit, motorcycle or car, I would definitely pass that car and its safe to assume it is broken down

.......................
The car driver even said "I don't care" when confronted about what he just did......
I stand behind what I wrote and for me stating that I am a biker.....maybe its because I have seen my share of road rage.
Proof is in the pudding my friend.......

Data?? Have you not watched the video of the actual accident?? I am sorry but the timing was way to perfect to think or say anything different than what is clearly seen.

Because the jury know what physically happened to the car and biker.
But the jury has to "emotionally" decide what the driver was thinking when it happened (which is the whole point of this discussion). And if there is an inkling of intent, the driver will be proven guilty.

One thing I learn about speeders, bikes or cars.
THEY are the one not slowing down traffic, so let them go.
Nothing can be accomplished by blocking them in, only pissing them off even more.
If they run into a pole or crash, then that's on them.
I always let bikers go by, even scooch over a little to let them pass and they give me the peace sign...win win folks.

Think logically. If Mr.crum is in a really bad mood, for a number of reasons, and he got into this accident , the chance that he will be showing any compassion might be slim to none. Should he show compassion? Yes. But reality is that his existing emotions are clouding over his mind and prevent him for expressing compassion that we so expect to show up.

In the meantime you're just a guy who wants to soak in some sun and listen to the sweet music of your Ducati's engine. Stop next to him at the next crossing to ask him to respect other road users and he speeds off as fast as possible, cause he's usually a coward too boot.
Sorry, no sympathy with anybody who has no respect for fellow road users.

It is his existing mental state that clouds his response.
