    actually agree with garthtax here. they didn't show you what happened before this did they? this stemmed on from a earlier incident where the bikers were harassing the guy. they didn't like the fact he was just using the road in his car. I would of ran them over if I had kids in car too. theyre not bikers, theyre arseholes.

    I don't condone the actions of the bikers but there's no real justifying plowing a range rover over a motorcyclist, the guy he went over ended up paralyzed.
    He could've killed several of them by doing that, should've got his wife to call the police and send some officers out if he was that worried about the safety of him and his family, by doing what he did he ended up getting the shit beat out of him infront of his family, and if he had have killed any of them he'd have been put away for manslaughter most probably, if the bikers didn't kill him first, both of which leaving his daughter without a father and wife without a husband.
    The bikers are assholes, but what he did was still irrational.

    in a situation like that i doubt youd be able to keep your calm.
    its all good and well us saying shit about it and wed do this and that in that situation but if we were panicking etc, i highly doubt wed be able to stay calm and think.

    Agreed but there was atleast a hundred of them, there's no chance of getting away from that many sports bikes in any car

    Whenever there is a large group of people wherever you go-
    They're will always!! be a few in that group that are frankly complete f.....g p....s,fer sure...it's a given!,
    have no doubt at all,for the most/most of those rider's were responsible and decent road users,however.the ones involved directly,i.e. the sort that thinks stupidity is fun an have some god given right to f..k with other road users lives-
    should be barred! from the road for life,
    we need less c...s like that otr,2wheels or 4.

    You can watch the clip from two completely different mind sets the other is the bikers just watched a friend crushed by a mindless driver in a Range Rover, if so are they really overreacting? The driver could have reversed and driven around the guy he had just knocked off, but instead he decided the reasonable thing to do was to drive directly over the guy and the bike wreckage. Is that really reasonable in any circumstances? Even if the guy on the bike was messing around by slowing in front of the Range Rover, it is no excuse to knock him off then drive over the top of him.

    I once saw a guy dragged out of a merc and given a serious kicking on the A40 buy a bunch of couriers. Because they and I saw him attempt to side swipe a guy on CX 500 with no obvious provocation at all. All the guy on the CX did was filter past him at the previous traffic lights and that was enough for this guy in the merc to think, 'oh I'll just try and kill him for doing that'. Any passer by would have exclaimed how terrible the bikers were, but they would not have seen the earlier attempted murder....

    My point is the whole story will never be known by anyone who wasn't actually there. There may be bikers who were at fault that day, but this driver should never be on the road again. He acts like he's playing GTA rather than driving a two and half ton truck in the real world...

    The moral, keep your cool and keep out of trouble 'cos it really is nuts out there!
