Think about it. The man hit the motorcycle, stops, and then drives over the guy and leaves the scene of the accident.
An accident just happened. Other motorists stop. They are going to make sure their friend is OK.
It is a matter of BIAS to assume that the other motorcyclists were going to hurt anyone.
And no, I wouldn't sit in the car and hope they wouldn't hurt me.
I would jump out of the car and try to help the guy I just hit. Like any decent human being ought to.
You also can't pull someone ouf of the car and beat them. The guy in the landrover was trying to leave the scene of an accident where he had just attempted murder for running over the guy. I understand his friends were upset, but they can't pull him out and beat him. We can not allow mob justice like that.
The guy in the land rover should be at fault for the accident, should be at fault for leaving the scene of the accident, should be at fault for wreckless driving and endangerment after leaving the scene of the accident, and should be at fault for attempted murder or manslaughter or something after running over the guy.
The people on the motorcycles should be at fault for wreckless driving and endagerment and for assault and battery.
Everybody handled this wrong.
