yet you forget that theres a guided missile of a Land Rover vs a ton of bikers. Guess who wins that one.

Whats your point? Its surprising that the SUV driver even made it as far as he did, usually there is a complete gridlock around that exit. He eventually got stuck in traffic, where his SUV proved useless. If him and the bikers were armed, and started a gun fight - there would be a lot of fatalities, probably including some innocent bystanders as well.

Both sides are wrong. Someone brakes check you, doesn't mean you have the right to run that guy over. Same goes for the biker, why being such a ****?

He didnt run him over deliberately, the dumbass squid cut in, tried to brake check to harass, and lost. What happens if you play in traffic. You think you couldve stopped that fast? Guess who stops faster a moto or a range rover? Even if he did slow down fast, a bunch of squids run into the rear of the RR, and the same thing wouldve happened. Then why no charges against the RR driver but the biker group got a ton of arrests and impounds. Police didnt see it that way. The bikers used the brake check to escalate the situation and look for a fight...against a Range Rover....while on bikes. This is a triple dose of retard approaching full retard.

Reckless driving, endangerment, multiple moving violations including driving on the wrong side of traffic, ignoring red lights, blocking traffic. This just builds a great case that these bikers were already intent on disturbing the peace among other issues. Brilliant to post videos showing their lawlessness.

Crazy stupid biker, they all become outlaw when group together. Just look around and pay a little more attention. Most of them are low life scum bag. I'm 100% sure some of the biker carry gun. That's what make them thing they are cool.

IOM the RR driver was probably quite justified, where are the police, hopefully many of these biker punks will get arrested and sent away for a long time.

there were over 60 summons given out to most of those bikers. a lot of fines and arrests already made. confiscated 18 bikes i believe.

how stupid do you have to be to record yourself running through several red lights?

definitely hive/gang mentality, woman got mirror broken just because she tried to turn on her green.

In the prius' case, all you can do is sit there and do nothing until the police arrive.

If they start slashing your tires and bashing your car, then you have to run people over. no question. Then head straight for the nearest police station.

Yes, I believe RRS driver was quite restrained by not running over more bikers. And probably would have gotten off with self defense.. Although its hard to think what to do in a situation like this.

One instance where it comes in handy for having a 3 ton SUV capable of running over motorcycles with ease.

Horrible situation. I'm with the driver of the SUV and that's why I think banning the weapons is the best thing. Imagine what tragedy this could have become , one family dead over a stupid traffic incident. At least without any weapon involved people can beat the **** out of them but they can continue their lifes after. Hope they catch those bullies.
