(24,853 posts)I'm saying that's why there isn't even a tire PRESENT on the wheel. I'm saying you didn't see what was happening on the right side of the RR BEFORE he rolled over the bikes. I'm saying I don't believe the right side of the car was damaged AFTER they caught up with him in the street. Look closely, there's a dent roughly the size and shape of a helmet on the right side hood of the RR also.
I'm SAYING I believe this Pack O' Punks escalated the incident to the point where he thought he HAD to stand on his gas pedal to save his family. In the seconds leading up to the point where you see him run over the two bikes, the only part of his vehicle that is visible is its roof. I'd bet money that the passenger side mirror had already been broken, and possibly the right side window shattered as well. I believe that was what made him make the split-second decision to run.
I believe they "brake checked" him because he held his lane position and his speed. He didn't show them the deference they thought they deserved. Once he clipped the rear tire of the bike in front of him (and that bike DIDN'T go down), it was on.
