My Legacy GT outruns psycho motorcyclist

So I am driving around and this guy on a motorcycle is driving generally poorly and stupidly behind me (following too close almost hitting my car), revving the engine etc. So I give him the finger as he goes past.

 

 

That is not the last I see of this moron he decides to get off his bike and makes attempts to get into my car from the drivers side but I speed off. He later does some stupid speed matching next to me with intimidating gestures before finally jamming his bike infront of me, stopping and getting off. He then tries to run towards the car passenger side. Having played GTA4 I know that the best thing to do is to wait until they are off the bike and almost at the car before pulling some evasive manouvers. I ram the Legacy into reverse and drive around the psycho as he lunges at the car.

 

 

What really surprised me was the persistence of this man. He decided to try and follow me through the traffic. Luckily enough the lights turning right had just gone green so I went for it. There was a bit of veering in and out of lanes and several more attempts from him getting off the bike and running at the car when we hit traffic until I lost him. During this time I was on a call to the police (can never be too careful).

 

 

So that was an interesting experience. I have to say that the cars performance and handling really came in handy.

you know a thread is destined for glory when you see "Having played GTA4 I know that the best thing to do is..." being applied to real-life, lol

see? and people say video games are useless:lol:

LOL

 

That is all.

GTA4 does have some undertones of life lessons. This thread is the perfect example of that. Killing countless cops and pedestrians... is not... But is sure is fun!

If you were a true GTA fan, you would have pulled your Uzi from under the seat and let him have a burst.

Wow. That is intense. Road rage can get so stressful. You must have had the adrenaline pumping all crazy. I wonder what the guys problem was. Being a motorcyclist myself, I have felt bullied by car drivers and have gotten pretty pissed. When riding a bike on the street it's really life and death. He probably felt like you endangered his life. Or he could have just been a psycho a**.

Cool story though.

This is why it's just not worth it to get into shit with strangers on the road.

No kidding man, the moron could have had a gun.

 

I would have just run him off the road in the first place.

What kind of bike was he on? Helmet?

Why even bother doing that? You should just run him off the road.

Why would you try to outrun a motorcycle in the first place? If he wants to play, show him the laws of physics. Objects of greater mass tend to win.

I learned over the last couple of years that jackasses using any form of transportation whether be it 2 wheeled, 4, or 18 are not worth getting in a tizzy over. If you wanna be a dick to them, slow down to a good 15mph or so under the limit. Some get the idea and back off. Others don't but it happens. Hell, if it annoys you that much, take the scenic route home and take an extra 5mins.

Wow, that is intense. I would still be worried if that happened to me. The chances of me running into him would be so high. GTA4 reference ftw. haha

Hahahaha! Then after that you could have beaten up a hooker.

Are you going to stick your middle finger up at any other driver after this?

so... why didn't the cops do anything? You said you were on the phone with them.

You have complete control of someone wearing a helmet as soon as you can grab it. Their head, neck, and body will go wherever you twist the helmet.

 

Most hotheads that try that aren't expecting you to defend yourself. I doubt they'd expect my 300 lbs to get out of a Legacy

Wow. That's a crazy story. That guy sure is persistant! If I were you I would've waited till he got really close to the drivers door and opened it on his ass. Let him smash into it then drive off. Maybe tap the bike lightly, just enough to make it fall over. That would've been awesome. Every time he tries to pull you over you just keep on rolling, straight into his bike. That would've been epic. He probably would've given up after you knocked his bike over 4 or 5 times.

 

Sounds like a Honda Civic with a fake intercooler a while ago. He was tailgating me and flashing his lights at me when we pulled up to a red light. Light turns green, I blast up to the speed limit and stop. No need to break the law. 10 seconds later he blasts by me in a no passing zone like an A-hole, fart can sputtering all the way. Later that week he's in front of me. I'm just minding my business when he hits the breaks, stops me, gets out of his car, then I took off past him. He's all pissed and waving his arms, trying to get me to fight him. I keep on driving and he runs up on me, probably 5 inches off my bumper. O hells no.... You know what I do when people do that to me? I jam on my freaking brakes. This guy almost crapped himself. He almost wound up implanting his primer bodykit and fake non-functional intercooler right into my license plate. I'm going the speed limit the whole time, no joke. He passes me about 3 or 4 times and slams on his brakes, I just drive around him each time. I drove straight to the police station after that. Then about a week later I see this guy at the grocery store. I'm waiting for my GF to run into the pharmacy and he's grillin' me like a cheeseburger. He gets in his car, drives up behind me and gets out of his ricebucket. He walks up to my window and starts spouting BS, I told him to get the F away from my car before I call the cops. He told me to call them and that he was going to snap my neck. I called the cops and they tracked him down. Turns out he's a relative of one of my neighbors. Haven't seen him since. Moral of the story, bikers and ricers are asshats.

Wow. Why didn't you call 911 while he was following you? The cops would have eventually caught up to you and the motorcyclist.

I think he did, but it would be kind of hard to give accurate directions when you're moving, especially at speed. My first concern would be getting some distance from this A-hole first, or at least tipping his bike over when he got off of it.

haha thats awesome...

 

just took a road trip from NH alllll the way to Oklahoma-we're driving thru upstate NY in my girlfriends 05 civic hybrid (slow as sh!t). Now, I understand how to use the highway and if ur not passing someone, move the hell over so faster traffic doesnt have to zig zag around. i'm passing someone (2 lanes) and a car flies up on my ass, rides my bumper the whole time, i think 'screw him i'll take my time.' as he passes me, it's some hipster-douche in a late 90's outback wagon gives me a stupid gay look and flips me the bird. so to pay him back i rode his ass for a few miles, flicking my brights in his rearview all the while...

 

dont phuck with me on the highway

Wow, you sure showed him.

 

Next time just wave, it pisses people off more when they flip you off.

Ha - that's true, just wave, smile and laugh...they get really pissed.

I had some hell's angel dude try to chase me after a near miss on route 84 up here in NY.

 

My spec had 2 fine asses in it so I tried to lose him.

 

He later found me in traffic ahead, tried to get off his bike, I sped past traffic in the oncoming lane, passed a state trooper and the biker followed. We had a confrence on the side of the road and the biker ended up being escorted to the city of newburgh lockup....he had some warrants!

 

Got some pu$$y after that, heh.

I'm applying for a concealed weapon carrying permit, in-vehicle

Im glad GTA4 helped you out in life. That is why I have a concealed weapons permit for the Commonwealth of VA.
