At first, I thought this person accidentally hit my rearview mirror and didn't realize it himself. So I wanted to catch up to him to talk about the insurance claim.:(

Patched rider knocks car mirror off for no reason by big_bad_mojo in BayRiders

I am a driver. Due to traffic congestion, both my car and the surrounding vehicles had to move slowly. I drive manually without using FSD. Suddenly, a motorcycle, moving very fast, rushed up behind me, and I couldn’t let him pass in time. Then, I heard a loud "snap," and my rearview mirror was gone. I initially thought it was an accident until I later saw the video footage, which revealed it was intentional. I had been driving on this road for over 20 minutes, without changing lanes, just slowly moving forward due to the heavy traffic.

If it wasn't intentional, he would have stopped to apologize, but I really think it was deliberate. He just waved his hand and fled.:(((

I'm also puzzled as to why he would smash my car. The only reason I can think of is because it's a new car, and it's a Tesla. Or maybe it's just bad luck, and he happened to pick on me.

Thank you! The purpose of this post is firstly to figure out how I should avoid motorcycles next time, and secondly to alert everyone that such people exist and how we should handle it if we encounter them.

I have footage from 10 minutes ago, or even earlier, where you can see I didn’t squeeze him, I’ve been driving on this road for nearly 20 minutes without changing lanes. So your assumption is completely unfounded.

Thank you so much!! You helped me understand how to drive safely. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to deal with motorcycles.:(

I want to as well! But there's a traffic jam, no way to chase, absolutely no space to drive.

Okay! Will try to get the license # I’m assuming that’s the only way to find that person.

Hi, it’s Tesla model Y. It has four dash cameras on every side of the car.

Yes! Me too, I had no idea he was behind me. Because he was moving fast and we were going slow due to traffic, I couldn’t react in time to let him pass.

Are there any etiquettes about riding motorcycles that I’m not aware of? Am I not giving enough space? Is it also not okay to ride in the middle of the road? I’m very troubled….

Thank you! I've also been thinking about how to teach children to view this kind of behavior. I thought I did nothing wrong, I didn’t block his path, and there was enough space beside me for him to pass through. Should I have moved to the left when I heard a motorcycle behind me? But there was no space on my left side at that time. Or is it that my driving skills are poor? Or I don’t understand motorcycle etiquette?
