Because you're dealing with a bunch of 20 year old kids who don't know shit because they don't have kids. If that happened with me, my wife, and my young daughter (the daughter was 2) I'd do the same thing. The bikers were the problem. Not the driver. They were out to cause problems and this is one of the many reasons I hate bikers.

Come on man. Are you really that naive to think that these guys surrounded this rr in the middle of the highway to exchange insurance? Whoever sent you that text is feeding you bullshit. Heck the same guy posted another video of one of the cyclists punching a mirror off a car for no reason.We can't tell from the video at all if the rr was being attacked or not before it sped off.

So what happened before this video.. cause i see a dumbass motordriver just breaking for no reason and it all looks pretty intimidating. Also, what happens just before he decides to drive away? Hard to tell from that distance.

I do not feel bad in the slightest for the bikers and I wouldn't even if a bunch of them were killed. The driver did nothing wrong as far as I can tell. The bikers are absolute fucking morons and assholes and should be prosecuted for whatever traffic charge is appropriate.
I hate when these biker cunts do this stunting shit on the freeway. I've been on the PA turnpike, where traffic regularly flows at 70-75 mph, with a couple of bikers coming to a near stop in front of traffic and speeding off. I truly feel for the innocent motorist who accidentally kills one and gets in trouble for it.

Those guys got off lucky. No way I would have given them the chance to catch me at a stop the second time. I would have stayed on the highway while my wife called 911. If any of them touched the car it would have resulted in a sharp turn to knock them down at highway speeds.
Excellent! Was it the same guy from the Twitter pic?
Thanks, I updated the OP.
I think you misunderstood me... lol I was laughing at the insurance part as being totally Bullshit. These guys had license plates removed for a reason... Im sure calling the cops for a fender bender was not what these guys wanted.
Devils advocate thought of the day:
Normal rear end fender benders DO NOT result in cars pulling off to the side of the road. Most happen. and Everything stops, people exit the cars right then and there, and so forth. Call police. etc. That's what the bikers did, stopped, "wtf RR dude?" Guy sees 60 other people now stopped because they are asses and are all together, takes off. running one over. Chase ensues.
Who said that was going to happen?

Garbage. Any traffic collision in which the vehicles are operable should result in moving to the side of the road and business being conducted. Don't just stop and hold up all traffic for a minor fender bender. And certainly don't have your thirty asshole friends do the same intimidating someone.
Who said it wasn't?
Who said it WASN'T going to happen? The RR driver had no idea what the intent of the mob was when they surrounded his car. It's not at all unreasonable to feel like his life may be threatened, or more importantly, the lives of his wife and child.
NYPD Confirmed today that there was a accident before the mayhem. Also do you like the NY post that still hasn't posted about one rider run over?

I don't really see how there is any doubt that the Bikers were the ones that caused the whole thing to escalate. The only thing the Ranger Rover guy did wrong was probably panic too soon.
But once he hit that first Biker after getting surrounded all he could have done was run, you know those guys were going to fuck him up if they got their hands on him.

You are completely wrong. Especially on a highway. Some may do it, but it is not the norm.
Where do they say there was an accident before the filming started?
I thought your inside sources denied any helmet denting and tire slashing occurred there?

Good, dunno what kind of penalties those are, but he needs to be disciplined for being a stupid fucking moron.

So glad to hear the first perpetrator got arrested.
God man this looks bad. As a father of a 2 year-old girl myself, can't imagine how terrified she must have been! You can see the driver getting beat down by quite a few bikers. This is horrible. I hope they find the person that was taking video on the Ipad, that's some good evidence right there!

The bikers were acting like cocky lunatics and one of them took it too far and caused an accident. Instead of keeping calm and worrying about their "friend" they decided to act like a bunch of tough guys and attempt to start a fight with the driver.
So the driver has his wife and child in the car and takes off. And I don't blame him for that.
I have 0.0% sympathy for aggressive motorcylists that roam in massive packs on the road and perform stupid stunts like this that put everyone at risk. Just fucking drive. Don't bob n weave between lanes. Don't hit 95mph to dart around my blind spot. Just drive like everyone else.
But no, they wanted to show off for their boys. And all this happened. I'd have taken off too if a pack of maniacs swarmed my car like that.

Damn... scum..
If you are talking about the fender bender where the person brake checked the driver, absolutely, there was an accident.
And do you have any proof that a driver was ran over during this incident? Because I am not seeing that reported anywhere. All that I've seen is a random instagram picture that has been circulating with nothing to corroborate it.

im not defending anyone. Utter non sense across the board. But also I like to hear both sides of the story.
no inside source. Noone I know went to this hollywood stunt gathering. I do know someone that has a friend that went, and he is spouting that no damage was done until after the run over... who Was Not the one who was arrested this morning.

He was blocked in.
Unfortunately that's what happens when you drive like an asshole and completely ignore the rules of the road.
My understanding of events based on that video was that was after he was boxed in and they went for the door?
I don't think it's unreasonable to surmise that he didn't realize what he was getting into when he allegedly merged (and allegedly clipped a Biker, did not run over) and then was stuck.

They did. Only the driver was injured.

Idiot bikers fault. You don't break check someone like that and then get pissed off when you get tapped. You and your gang of flunkies also don't stop someone in the middle of the road and not expect something bad to happen like one of you getting ran over.

Dude, this is what may happen when you drive aggressively (and without plates too). Keep the bike shenanigans on a track/event space.
You're talking about the guy who went in front of him and started aggressive breaking to make his bike and the car touch? What time stamp are you referring to? I seriously can't blame the car driver for not breaking fast enough, not exactly optimal conditions.

To avoid problems everyone on the road should drive responsibly. No one should have to find an alternative route to avoid a bike. If the bikes follow the rules of the road and the suv does the same then there's no problem. If the bike follows the law when an accident occurs and so does the suv then there is no problem.
I agree to an extent that me personally? I'd just pull over. But the onus shouldn't be on responsible drivers to get out of the way. The burden needs to be on douchebag cyclists to not drive like douchebags...then get an attitude when they almost get killed.
After he was already being swarmed? That's not really an option. It's pretty clear he didn't mean to run over the driver. The Biker took a huge risk doing something that stupid.

The confusion is understandable. He was referring to the alleged reports that the RR clipped a Bike when merging onto the freeway, before the events in the video took place.
This article ( http://nypost.com/2013/10/01/cops-bust-bike-thug/ ), states that the entire series of events took place over 30 minutes. The video is only 6 minutes long. So there was quite a bit that happened well before the Biker brake checks the RR in the video and before the RR drives over what looks like 2 Bikes and a Bike Rider (also in the video).
In your opinion, why do you feel the police haven't mentioned this person in life support as being connected to this incident, yet have already mentioned the minor injuries suffered by others?
