Who is this to?

But isn't impeding the flow of traffic also against the law?

According to police, the bikes did not do anything wrong up to the 1st wreck. In fact the police were waiting for the bikes as they were heading to an annual bike gathering in Manhattan.

The police say it was the accident that set everything off. Then when the guy ran over the bikes due to the SUV panicking, that set off the crowd of bikes.

oops. fast moving thread. it was intended in response to..

I dont call that a break check at all. IT was not an abrupt stop or extreme slowing down of the bike.

The driver of the truck is at fault for hitting someone from behind...

Sorry to all the biker friendly guys on here, but fuck all those bikers in the ass. I would have hit more of them at speed. I have been in similar situation both here, and while I was in Japan, and both times I fishtailed my car through gangs of bikers and gave them plenty of 1/4 panel love. Enough that they didn't want to chase me down.

Nope, its called a "swerve and squat" and if witnesses say you did exactly what this biker did you'd be on the hook for it. The bike entered the lane illegally and decreased speed without giving the Range space.

There is a reason the police are charging the biker who caused the wreck instead of the car. Thankfully for the Range Rover driver one of the asshats put it on the internet as proof.

yeah watched it many times,

The reason the bikes stopped in the road is because of the first wreck and they stopped traffic to check on their rider that got hit. Remember he has 2 broken legs from that hit.

But that was not a break in any form. ASK a cop!

The cops should watch more of the original video poster's footage, there are several more videos from earlier in the day of the motorcyclists' rowdy and often illegal behavior. In several cases they ride on sidewalks, block cars at intersections with quads, run red lights, split lanes, change lanes without signaling, box cars in keeping them from retreating/exiting to the right lane, inter into verbal altercations with other drivers, ect.


The RR drive was certainly not the first driver that day intimidated by the clowns.

Several unedited videos seem to be hosted below and apparently they were grabbed before the original went viral and the owner pulled the rest due to incriminating evidence.(no clue why gaga's page is the one hosting them but they are all there)

Except nothing of the sort. They are charging the guy on the white bike who got "rear ended" with multiple crimes because he was legally in the wrong. Dude is on the hook for reckless driving and endangering a child. Actually, in that video you can see a dozen or so illegal lane changes and failure to maintain a lane violations prior to the brake check.

And then there are the other dozens of charges and impounded bikes they announced from this ride well before this incident.

I dont think the guy on the white bike is the guy that got the charges. Most likely one of the guys that actually assaulted the suv.

I guess we will see once the dust settles... Being charged and being found guilty is 2 different things.

Are you watching the same videos?

Moron gets bumped by RR, he stops, then bikers approach RR and start beating it and slash a run-flat tire, THEN he runs over a biker to get away from an obviously hostile situation, chase ensues, he gets caught in traffic and they proceed to smash his windows, drag him from the car and use a weapon on him and beat him into the hospital.

....in front of his wife and 2yr old kid.

One guy even tried to smash the window where the kid was! Despicable.

With his hand, which is now broken no doubt.
