Driver accused of swerving to hit motorcyclist: ‘I don`t care`
GRANBURY, Texas — A motorcyclist who was struck by a car near Granbury, Texas said the driver swerved to hit him intentionally, according to a report by The Dallas Morning News.
Eric Sanders, who was driving the motorcycle, told the news agency the crash happened Saturday afternoon on a county road about five miles north of Granbury. The incident was captured on movie (above).
A 2nd movie (below) evidently shows another motorcyclist confronting the driver of the vehicle that hit Sanders.
“I don`t care,” the driver said when asked what he was doing.
According to The Dallas Morning News, the Texas Highway Patrol has seen the movie and the driver whose vehicle struck Sanders may face felony charges.
The description on the very first movie said Sanders` gf was a passenger on the motorcycle at the time of the incident and both suffered injuries.

They ought to turn this driver over to the Hells Angels and let them deal with him as they see fit.
Jeff Krogue
They don`t like sport bike guys.
Well, since evidently the motorcyclist didn`t think the law of the Dual YELLOW LINES didn`t apply to them, other people tend to get IRRITATED by having their own lives endangered and tend to take rash deeds.
Dual dick moves on both parties, but if the cyclist had obeyed the law, none of this would have happened would it have?

It has been stated that the driver of the car was going inbetween ten and twenty miles below the speed limit. Also it is legal in Texas for a motorcycle to pass on a dual yellow if conditions are safe. They were not at fault.
Pedro
WD40, you are an Idiot.
WD40: Next time you don`t come to a accomplish stop at a stop sign for three total seconds can I execute YOU? Because, evidently, minor traffic infractions are cause for the death penalty.
The driver needs to be hammered to death with a rubber hosepipe, and I`ll gladly be the executioner.
Jonah Falcon
And the man`s gf is worth death, too?
Chris
It`s ok to THINK about hurting someone who aggravates you. To actually DO it is evil and against the law. We have a criminal justice system for those who break the law. To just randomly injure someone whose behavior you don`t approve of is madness. To turn this around, if your wifey don`t use your blinker or anger me in some way, it`s ok if I injure her severely?
Katydid
The driver`s life was not endangered by being passed. And it was also illegal for him to cross the dual yellow line. We`ll see how much disdain he has for law breakers when he`s surrounded by them in jail.
Spencer Reid
WD40 you can`t say it wouldn`t have happened. It looks like the driver of the car was just waiting for a boy on the bike to ram off the road
Kjarva
So by your logic WD40, anyone cracking the law by jaywalking totally is worth to be deliberately run over by an angry motorist who sees them do it? The biker may have been in the wrong, I don`t know the laws in Texas but in no way does that excuse the insane vigilante behaviour exhibited by the driver.
Tommie
The boy in the car pulled a dick budge ! He knew exactly what he was doing and caused an accident which could have been fatal. Just telling

PLEASE LOCK HIS DUMBASS UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY.
I don`t very often want to kill, dismember and eat another person…..but that driver is on my list.
Jeff Krogue
Yup i drove around 100,000 miles a year for a while, and its amazing how often you see this type of thing. Some people will intentionally attempt to crash someone out of road rage.
Not that Bob but another other Bob
That old man needs to be kicked in the Lugnuts . Twice!
Bob you are ignorant of the law. You do not have to stop for any amount of time. The law states your vehicle has to come to a finish stop. No time limit.
I think I`ll kill you for that.
Because I feel like it.
Sometimes it can be hard for a prosecutor to prove what the law calls “depraved indifference”, but in this case the old coot was helpful enough to say it out noisy: “I DON`T CARE.”
Bingo. Prison time. By his own explicit admission HE DID NOT CARE what happened to the riders. He only dreamed to cause harm. Whether they lived or died meant nothing to him.
He`s old enough to die in prison with just about any felony conviction, and he well SHOULD do so.
You just said you`re going to kill me, so that`s prison time for you.
Check your dual standard.

Yes, the serving of the car into the motorcycle is unacceptable and that driver should be charged accordingly, the motorcycle driver should be charged as well for passing on a dual yellow line.
Katydid
He received the minor traffic citation that folks get when they break minor laws and don`t harm anyone.
He didn`t receive a citation at all. Motorcycles are permitted to pass on a dual yellow, in Texas, if conditions are safe. The driver was traveling well under the speed limit, the visibility was clear, the road straight……it was a legal pass.

I too am a bullet bike rider. Upon the very first time I observed this movie, I was appalled by it. This is typically why I have to act like every car on the road wants to kill me, because sometimes they are. I noticed the driver of the car kept messing with his lef so a observed again to see why. If you listen cautiously you can hear him repeatedly say he got stung by a wasp or something. I believe him. It was stupid and enormously rude of him to keep telling he doesn`t care, but accidents like this happen all the time, (I recall a time when my mother got stung by a bee on a similar road like this and had to pull over) and some types of people can`t treat their own guilt so they shrug responsibility off by telling “I don`t care”. So no I don`t believe the boy attempted to kill the biker, but I do think he made a very poor decision to repeatedly say he doesnt even care. If he indeed didn`t care he wouldn`t even have stopped the car.
Jeff Krogue
That reminds me of a neighbor I had a long time ago, she spilled a soda in her lap and went to take care of the soda and then proceeded to drive through a cinderblock wall.

There is more to the story. The driver was stung by a wasp and it just so happened to be right at the same time the motorcyclist was illegally passing him
That`s his story, but he`ll have a hard time defending his “I don`t care” comment.
He`s been charged with aggravated onslaught with a deadly weapon, which is punishable by up to twenty years in prison.
Which is exactly what he did.
Kevin
Bite by a wasp or bee ' are you people that gullible? If this was truly the case, then where is the evidence of this wasp or bee nibble? The driver of the car was a total a$$. At very first he stated that he didn`t care. Then after he was told it was on gauze did he come up with the idea of being stung. Regardless of the law passing on a dual yellow, this boy should be made an example of ' harshly. There is no call for what he did. Get him off of the road!
Lorree
How was it that his friend just happened to be videoing this? just asking 🙂
Katydid
Lots of riders wear movie helmets now. It`s actually pretty popular.
Jeff Krogue
Yeah, they are pretty useful in situations like this. I eyed one get a driver busted when he attempted to intentionally run a cyclist of the road.
