Dangerously stupid start of undertake on the exit of the roundabout. (I red the turn with enough time to of backed off) Motorcycle rider should of backed off when cut off. Simple rule DON'T UNDERTAKE drivers are not looking for it. A horn blast or two to wake him up is fine but kicking a car is aggressive and was hardly likely to get him a thank you card. Although i question weather enough time elapsed between the kick and the doors opening to say they hadn't already decided to give him a talking to.
Thanks for reminding me that suicidal bikers are out there.
So, the biker used several bus lanes, last I knew motorbikes aren't buses, cut across some chevrons, you have to stay outside them, went straight on from a left turn only lane on the iskand and then tried to undertake the Peugeot on exit of the island? Then after all that kicks the car, although the Peugeot driver should maybe have given more room at the end but on the other hand it look as if the biker was just about to pull in front of him to get round the cars waiting at the lights. So all in all the biker is mainly at fault here but the Peugeot driver shouldn't have attacked the him. But what did he expect?
@Donny (1st comment on here) if you read the highway code the left hand lane enables you to turn left or go straight on unless specifically signed otherwise (for example if on the ground it says left turn only). The more you know!
Not sure I've interpreted this correctly, the biker approaches the roundabout in the wrong lane (land turn only) but goes straight on, the Peugeot driver is in the correct lane on entry to the roundabout and in the correct lane on exit.
He gets two horn beeps for doing nothing wrong, then to add insult it injury the biker gives him the finger. Driver sees a little red mist as he's done nothing wrong (at this stage) and overtakes the bike a little too close essentially giving him the finger in return.
Looks like this is the end of the exchange until the disgruntled inexperienced rider kicks the chaps car... What on earth did he expect?
The biker caused this by riding badly, tooting ignorant to his own error, gave the driver the bird and then kicked his car, then comes on here to complain.
