Hm... after watching the video, my sentiments are:
1. The motorist was on the verge of getting violent, that was
wrong, but he did have a valid point about the risks of being a
motorcyclist compared to a driver.
2. The van driver was also well under control, and was right in
taking the first step to calm the situation down.
3. The passenger in the van, by openly taking a video of them as
well as talking back, was not doing anything to help clam the
situation. If you watch carefully, the rider had actually started
calming down, but got aggravated by the passenger again.
4. If you're not a motorcyclist, you're quite unlikely to
understand how it feels. When somone consciously or unconsciously
acts in a manner which would cause you to feel that your life is
terribly endangered, would you not get angry? I feel that I am in a
good position to answer this, as I am both a driver and a rider,
and I know how it feels when drivers are nonchalant about
motorcyclists' safety.
5. I am not Indian, nor am I racist towards them. =)
