Update on the bikers who terrorized a New York City Family.

127. I hate that it seems that way. My personal take--

I know a lot of bikers--their lifestyle is not my cup of tea, but it affects how I interpreted what I saw on the video. I saw bikers driving really slow and taking up the entire road. I saw the range rover driver beeping at the bikers and following so closely that a crash occurred when one of the bikers hit his brakes. It's almost certain that a confrontation occurred and angry words were exchanged because it probably appeared that the driver did it on purpose, considering the beeping and tailing... I can understand completely how freaked out the Range Rover driver must have been when all the bikers started approaching to check on their friend, but nothing violent was happening when the range rover driver decided to take off, running over a biker (paralyzing him) and destroying his bike. I'm not excusing the events that followed, but how would you feel if someone ran over your friend and took off?

I wish him a speedy recovery, but a little bit of common sense on the Range Rover driver's part could have prevented the incident. Just as I wouldn't engage a group shady characters on the street, I wouldn't engage them on the road. If I drive up on a group of bikers, I'm going to slow down until the last one has passed and that's it. No sudden movements. No tailgating. No beeping. I just stay completely out the way because I don't want to be associated with any crashes that result from their reckless behavior (around here, they tend to drive 90+ mph). Basically, the last thing I'd do is tailgate a pack of bikers while beeping my horn.
