http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/02/us/new-york-bikers-attack-video/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 A note and probably a rant: I live in a VERY quiet town with a booming motorcycle bar right outside of town. The motorcyclists drive through town without mufflers which is illegal in my town if not my state. They cut people off and weave in and out of traffic like it's their playground without any regard of people who are driving cars, including cutting them off, passing in the wrong lane, weaving in and out of lanes and not giving any **** about cars, and basically making everyone else's life a living hell on the road. Sometimes even giving the driver's of the car a hard time. They do do good causes, a lot of charity events. But they also cause the most accidents in my area. They expect us to stop for them no matter how dangerous it gets, and due to the laws of my state, the driver of the car is held responsible for any accident or injury. The driver of an SUV, with a two year old in the backseat mind you, had a motorcyclist in a gang which is where most of the reckless driving come from from what I've seen. Cut him off and slam on the brakes within inches of the SUV. The driver had no time to stop and tapped the cyclist. The SUV got off the freeway and they followed him and started to destroy his car and slashed his tires, and he in a panic took off when he was at a stop light, he also hit one of the motorcyclists because of the motorcyclists vicinity being so close, broke one cyclists legs. He didn't get far before they caught up, they then apparently dragged him out of the car at that point and severely beat him. He is right now in a coma at the hospital and paralyzed. Words can't describe how angry I am about this. The fact that people are defending the actions of the biker makes me more angry. He called 911 to let them know about the gang before this incident happened, I don't know what happened with this call, but apparently whatever it was, it wasn't fast enough to stop this tragedy from happening. The fact that they were on the news today giving you instructions on how to handle situations like this which means it happens more often than I wish to think, shakes me to my core. Especially what I mentioned in the first paragraph. My thoughts and prayers go to the SUV' drivers' family.[DOUBLEPOST=1380768612][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh yeah, apparently the group: Hollywood Stuntz, the group who did this has a motto of: "We Run This City." Along with a Youtube channel showing more dangerous stunts they've done. And this is their second assault. Lovely. ><
Wait what ? That' d be you hyperboling out of anger, right ? Personally whenever I spot a biker I stick to the right side of the lane and expect them to drive by me anytime without any warning, which they inevitably do. Never had a problem with them that way. In this case it' s hard for me to tell whose fault it was, not having witnessed the scene for myself, but frankly I couldn' t care less : what the bikers did after that is ****ing inexcusable either way.
That's the law in my state, dude. If a car hits a biker, no matter what the circumstances, the driver of the car is at fault and has to pay the charges for the motorcycle and any injury sustained to the cyclist. It's probably different in other states, but that's the law in mine. Oh yeah, and apparently some of the cyclists filmed this whole incident. There's links in the article.
