Long winded legal question...

of course there were no witnesses to atest to this:banghead::banghead: never is. sorry but i think you prob have to end up paying for the mirror and court costs. These things are easy to do in the heat of the moment, just take this with you and lesson learned be glad she didnt run you over playing chicken with a car while on two wheels=:grim:
 
So i guess the big lesson here is next time I get away faster so she can't get my license plate number. Jk.

I did over react, but in my 24 years of riding that was the first time I've had someone maliciously come after me, not just a slight move over so I couldn't split the lane, but actually swerve a car at me. And again I didn't call the cops, because all I knew was it was a white car, and I'd get just about no where with that had I called 911, I wanted to get away from the person, I mean they just swerved their car at me and tried to hit me with it, a few times, I don't know if they have a gun or a knife or what's going on, or if they were going to follow me home and key my car or do something to my house so I reacted and split, I got caught at a light but luckily I was able to get about 4 or 5 car between us so she couldn't do anything(if she was really going to) but that was enough time to get my plate number.

I understand what I did was wrong, what really irritates me is that what this chick did was as messed up if not worse(worse in my mind because I was the recipient of it) and nothing will happen to her. I did get my helmet cam mounted up, and have decided once this is settled I am going to become the biggest a**hole around, and anytime someone messes with me like that on my bike again, I'm dropping back recording the plate number and going straight to the police. It's not right nothing happens to people who do that stuff. The area we live in is heavily populated with bikers, lots of military guys commuting to camp Pendleton, as well as a huge group of HA's and Mongul's, had this chick pulled the same stunt against one of them, we'd probably be reading about it in the newspaper. People need to learn they can't just mess with bikers, and I'm going to start doing my part to make sure that happens.
 
The situation only became a problem when she challenged you and you made the mistake of engaging. I have learned over a long life beginning when I was a teen when my daddy taught me to defuse situations of engagement before they can escalate out of control. No different than having a drunk challenge you in a bar. You can engage and make a complete fool of yourself and pay the consequences or you can defuse the situation.

This may be the first time you have been challenged on your bike but I can assure you it will happen again with time. It's happened to most of us more times than one and for me, it's never escalated into a pissin match.
 
Reminds me of something that happened when I was a teen, in my Dad's new sports car, Dad driving. We were on the interstate and some young-punk-guy decided he'd be a jerk and cut my Dad off when he was just minding his own business. Well, my Dad had a temper (and I have the same), and I'm sure the testosterone in both cars was running high. They ended up "racing" and playing "who's first". Dad finally got in front of this jerk, took an exit and I recall breathing a sigh of relief :laugh:

We're sitting at a light in traffic when this jerk pulls up along side my Dad, on my side of the car. He looks at us, turns the steering wheel left toward the front of my Dad's (brand spanking new) car, guns it and hits us, then speeds through a red light to run away. My Dad lost it, gunned his car through the light and chased this guy until he stopped outside of his home (insert "what an idiot" icon here, IMHO). My Dad barely got the car in park when he jumped out and ran over to the guy just emerging from his car...the fear in this kid's eyes was apparent. I'm sure he never thought any "old guy" would chase him down (my Dad was only in his 30's, but you know how punk kids feel about those over 25 LOL), but why in the world would anyone think they'd get away with hitting someone, then running. Thank goodness my Dad gained composure enough to not strike this kid, and that he realized calling the cops on a kid he just chased home wouldn't go over well for anyone :laugh: I recall the kids apologizing profusely, and my Dad drove off with a new dent in his shiny new car...

It's tough to think through such events like this, and if you're quick to lose it (ask Omar how quickly I will lose it while driving *yikes*), it's even harder...good to take a step back and think through everything that could go wrong, and look for alternatives...
 
Pay for the mirror and get her info during the proceedings and go smash it off again when everythings all said and done. :rofl:
 
I lane share every day in my commute, (because I can), and I have the helmet camera on all the time. Remember, it will prove both innocence and guilt, if needed.

I really need to get my helmet cam mounted lol. I think is could have been averted with that cuz she wouldn't have said anything if I played back a video of that.

This is the reason I run my gopro every time I'm out.
 
I'm glad I don't have to ride "tight" very often, I usually have room (and power) to evade. Find some clear road. I do not like to ride alongside traffic. Too much ...... testostrone??? :laugh:
 
I would have put a few cars in between her and I even if I had to lane split the car in front of me, let her ride someone else's ass all pissed off.
 
first off, never admit to a dang thing when asked in a situation like this. Simply state that you have no clue and unless they can prove it was you to simply bugger off :whistle:

Secondly, I would have someone that "doesnt know me" call and report that they saw some crazy lady in a car of her description trying to run some biker off the road on that day. Just dont have it be your best friend you talk to 100x a day :laugh:

I know the road rage thing gets us all going but next time, just pull over and stop. Take a few deep breaths and then get back on the road. Its taken me a LONG time to get where I could say that with a straight face and thankfully without any documented incidents that I can point to for why I say it :whistle: but its just not worth it. The 5 mins of your life to pull over, get your composure, let the crazy get some distance from you might just save your life next time. Just my 2c from the "been there done that" section of the population

They are called nuts Lycan! ??? Nuts Nuts NUTS!

More sophisticated folks like VaBusa call them "Gonads". Southern folk call them "Kahoonas" but they are "NUTS"!

And,,,,,,,,,,,,,, if you can carry yours in your jacket pocket then your "Nuts" are bigger than mine! :dunno:

You need to speak with a criminal defense lawyer--someone with a relationship with the District Attorney.
