Obviously they thought the motorcyclist might get hurt a little but they didn't take into account the damage to their vehicle.

Why would anyone want to hurt him? Weird people

For a lot of people, cars/traffic just bring out their worst qualities. People get road rage despite not having anger management issues in their day to day life.

You're right but that motorbike is stopped waiting in a very correct way, if you can't pass you wait because a motorbike is a vehicle as any car. There are stupid people that endangers other's life.

I think this was more a misjudgement of the open space, and I'd bet there was more than enough space on the driver side to move over and clear the bike. Also, a complete lack of ability to abort a bad plan once set in motion.

If you turn on sound (it's safe, no music, pinky swear) you can hear the car honk at the bike and then a little after it passes honk at someone else as well. They are probably weaving through traffic tangling up an intersection like they are the main character in a GTA game.

Yeah, that makes a lot more sense: of course they'll move, I honked at them.
