One thing I missed the first time I watched the video. The cager was illegally in the car pool lane (minimum $481 fine). Only one person in the car. That makes at least 4 violations.

A clear answer cannot be had until the previous actions, ( before the tape started ) are known. As far as the law in FLA, from what I saw the car encroached in the lane of the bike...kicking a car ...not sure what law violation that would be.....criminal mischief maybe... everything after that is on the car driver.. he tried to and did hit the bike which is felony in Fla, lost control and caused the rest.... I don't really see leaving the scene on the biker part as he was a victim, had no damage and did not really need an accident report...
Again, kinda like the NFL the person starting the foul is never seen just the retaliation ....JMO

The Biker (Harley Street Glide if you zoom in) is at fault. He initiated contact. Having said that, the car then intentionally rammed the biker. That action then caused the collision with the innocent truck. Criminally, the biker will be charged with damaging the car and failing to remain at the scene of an accident. The car driver will be charged with assault with a weapon, dangerous driving etc. These road rage incidents never turn out well for anyone. I don't understand the thought process. Keep cool, take down the offender's information, plate, car, colour etc and report him. You stay safe and your tax dollars give back some value. Ride with your head up.
Not to mention the camera operator that caught it all.

Damn good motorcycle rider, minus the hothead behavior.
The report I read from the Sheriff spokesperson was the cage driver entered the carpool lane and almost hit the motorcyclist. This initiated the motorcycle then kicking the door of the cage, thus escalating the situation.
Action reaction situation, Was the cage driver startled by the motorcyclist that they almost hit or was it retaliation?
They had not interviewed the motorcyclist at the time of this report and were investigating. I do not know at this time if the video captured the plate, but I am sure the biker has some explaining to do. Better have some legal on standby.
Driver in the truck has been released from the hospital and is expected to fully recover(as soon as the check clears)
The cage driver, if he did almost crunch the motorcyclist and was texting or distracted is the initiation. The bike is also in the wrong and will get some charges if he is found. Did show that he can ride and was lucky he was not killed.
Man if I went to kick every car that has cut me off over the years my boots would be wore out!Sorry as I see it the Biker had a right to be pissed but he escalated the situation by kicking the car.Sometimes one has to just let it go as no good comes out of road rage.Many years of long commuting in the SF bay area taught me that golden rule.
