The world just got a little smaller for the driver of this Volkswagen Golf GTI as his (apparently) unfounded aggression towards a biker continues to draw attention (and plenty of comment) on YouTube.
Equipped with a helmet-mounted camera the biker is seen pulling up to a red traffic light before accelerating away fairly briskly at the green signal. At the same time a tyre screech can be heard through the camera’s microphone and moments later the black GTI appears to the biker’s right. Pulling in front and coming to a halt the angry driver exits the Golf and with the (quite stunning) words, “you better check yourself, fool” proceeds to slap the biker over the head.
The biker later posted this update to the YouTube video:
“UPDATE: To those that are asking, I did go back to the police with a formal complaint and the will to prosecute the attacker. Inkedbeast76 helped me tremendously with this effort by guiding me through the whole process. I am forever grateful for such help, especially for someone to help a stranger from YouTube! Everything is in order and I have ID’d the attacker and now it’s just a matter of waiting for the results or the call from the PD.
Just for everyone to know. I was NOT trying to race him, and I know the video makes it seem so. But I just wanted to pass him since I noticed he kept staying right next to me. I accelerated a bit to pass him but slowed down when I noticed I was approaching speed limit as well the a yellow light. The guy, for some odd reason, cut right behind me when I passed him, cutting off my friend and tailing me very closely (according to my friend). I didn’t notice him behind me since he did it so abruptly, I assume he either got pissed that he thought I was trying to race him? Or that I purposely brake checked him? I was about to tell him that my intention wasn’t was to race him but he got all macho on me.
And for those that are wondering. YES I took his little slap to the head. No harm done. I’m not an aggressive guy, I assumed this was another typical road rage, let the guy do his little act and be on with it. Of course I wanted to punch him but that would’ve made matters worse with all the people watching. If he had tried to take another swing at me then I would’ve gotten off to defend myself, but 1 little slap was no big deal.”
