Wonder if that guy has helmet and leathers cover in his insurance?

The guy smashing the window? It's not insured if you smash it up intentionally, claiming for that would be fraud.

Was a joke

Tell you what, if my wife and kids were in there and I was driving I would drive over every one of those arseholes to keep them safe. I don't intimidate easily, but that would probably do it. A biker gang of 50 or so, and all you have is your car to defend yourself... Simples

If you run into the back of someone then its your fault.....what he did after that is inexcusable

And now the cops would be looking for you too! Why would you do it.
We get cut up all the time by cars why rise to it, if no-one gets hurt. Use video footage or get the plates and report it.
The rover driver isn't being charged for anything, and several bikers are being questioned or charged according to the article.
Its gone viral across the world and bikers are being cast in more bad light because of some testosterone fuelled twats.

Would you be one of those that pulled a knife out?

Some of the bikers, apparently angry over the collision, started to confront the driver and, at one point, started to slash his tires.

And as for people who 'get in the pack and drive like dicks', I take it you haven't watched the video?  A lot of those bikers are riding like idiots.  If you want to have your own bit of road, go hire a track.

More from CNN -

Bike gang called "Hollywood Stuntz" - So stupid.

Apparently one of the bikers that got hit is paralyzed and in a coma.

What a bunch of punks and probably want-to-be thugs.

so let me get this right
while driving along minding his own business he was engulfed by up to 75 motorbike riding like total arse holes
after an altercation  a bike which is riding in a dangerous manner suddenly slows/stops brakes in front of him for no reason
he hits the bike and his car is then set upon but the rest of the motorcycle group
in his car he has his wife and 2yr old daughter and fearing for his and there lives' take off hitting several of the attackers
he is then followed but the large group of angry bikers  and  is cornered and attacked again , and yet again he try's to get away from his attackers knocking several of them over , before finally being cornered and attacked by the mass of bikers
and now the bikers are complaining that the police aren't going to charge the car driver
if you have time watch the other clips to see just how bigger arseholes these bikers where ! weaving through traffic cutting every one up riding down paths blocking roads so they will have the only route through traffic ignoring road sign and traffic signal ! 

[DryRob]

According to that article the cager hasn't been charged with anything despite putting someone in a coma. I know they're looking at the whole incident but the police seem be condoning running people over. I wonder if the driver or his wife called the police and got advised to do that?

[snapper]

"cager hasn't been charged"  maybe they are looking at it as self-defence ?
to be honest if I truly believed my wife and children were at risk , I think I may do the same as him !
and I would challenge anyone to say they wouldn't do the same ! 

[stupidamerican]

Knowing how things work in the states - it wouldn't surprise me if the Range Rover driver didn't get in trouble.

I'm not taking sides, just saying.

Apparently this is all over the news channels back in the States. Of course it's in NYC so it gets a bunch of media coverage. Media coverage is so bias towards the Northeast and Southern Cali.

Anything to take our minds off the government shut down.

[snapper]

as much as I feel for the biker and his family , after watching the clips , I cant help but feel their own group behavour brought this upon him

and if the cager is charged with anything , will all the bikers in the clips also be charged both with threating behavouir and the hundreds of offences filmed before the inccident


"One of those bikers was Mieses. His wife, Dayana Mieses, says he had gotten off of his bike to help the injured biker who was hit in the initial collision"  you cant see this from the video  but maybe the injured man was really just trying to help.but !!

I'm not saying I would've acted any different if I/my family had been threatened but I'd also expect punishing for running people over.

[/quote]Seriously? So you'd just sit there and take 50+ people, with weapons, threatening you and your family?

They're obviously twats, It's a pity he didn't take out a few more of them :|

Yes, if by my actions someone was in a coma I would expect there to be consequences, two wrongs do not make a right.

In that case I'm glad you don't run the country
