I want to see the rest of the video. Where he goes over there and beats the holy happy horse sh*t out of that jackass.
in that situation don't think I would have been able to stop so quickly, if you know what I mean.

What... The... F*ck...???
Car should have stopped before the accident. Not sure what was going on though. Can anyone find the original, or a story?

lmao at checkin out the front of his car first, then casually walking to checkout the motorcyclist. this seems like road rage on the motorcyclists behalf, cut off a guy, brake check, take off, only to brake check again... with no obstacles in the road is asking for trouble.

^ obviously. Not too many people out there will brake check someone without any provocation.
That said, the appropriate time to brake-check someone on a bike is never, and in a car ... the same. Just let off the gas until they get the idea, or the gap between their car and yours becomes safe due to low speed.

I've seen enough Russian dash cam videos to know that at any moment, any other driver on the road can cut you off and brake check you for whatever reason
