I was riding to work Friday morning on the 55 freeway in the carpool lane. I pulled up behind a dark colored Nissan SUV and he began to hug the line so I couldn't pass. I thought no biggie, maybe he doesn't see me, maybe he does, I'll wait.A space opened up in the next lane over so I rolled on the throttle and changed lanes to get around him. As I made what was a big swerve around him he flung his SUV into the lane I'd moved into. Had I not accelerated so quickly he'd have definitely side swiped me and taken me out (he probably came a full third into the lane).I thought maybe he was a dick driver that wanted to move over and didn't use his signal, but no. I then see him in my mirror harassing another biker behind me and I realize that mother fucker tried to hit me.I moved over into the #2 lane to slow down and the SUV screams up to me and dives into the lane behind me and gets on my ass.The biker behind me revved his motor at the guy, pulled up next to me and motioned to his helmet where I saw he had a camera mounted. We then both booked it to get away from the SUV psycho.I'd love to find the other guy that had the camera. If it was you - AWESOME. If you're in OC and know anyone that commuted Friday on the 55 freeway, would you please ask if they happened to be the other rider?Next question: can you recommend a decent camera? My wife really wants me to buy one now.Edit: I'll probably repost this tomorrow or Tuesday for some visibility. I hope that's not against the rules. via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/9am9qb/had_a_guy_in_a_nissan_suv_try_to_swerve_into_me/?utm_source=ifttt
