Call me crazy.
if that person then runs off and hits other bikes and people…don’t you fault that guy?[/quote]
Pretty much. The car driver was 100% to blame for this incident.
He ran into the back of another car = at fault situation.
He then ran over multiple other people = his fault.
He got his arse handed to him = well deserved arse kicking.[/quote]
So someone who is driving with a lot of other illegal riders, whom likely have no license … insurance… and some are even riding illegal vehicles
Not to mention in other videos where they are driving on sidewalks weaving around pedestrians causing a scene
The NYPD know who this group is and have has issues with them many times
One person from this group jumps in front of your vehicle and slams on the brakes on purpose, they get hit as a result and the other driver is to blame?
I am glad you are not a judge, your opinion makes no sense.
Law is law regarding someone hitting someone from behind, but it doesn’t hold true in this case where someone was deliberately targeted.[/quote]
Yes it does. It shows quite simply, with no other possible interpretation that the driver did no leave sufficient room between themselves and the vehicle in front to avoid an accident.
If the contact was front/rear, as opposed to on the side, showing an unsafe lane change or other maneuver, then it is very definitely the idiot in the car that is to blame.
For some reason people panic when there are bikes around them, and just don’t seem able to give them enough space for safetly. They stop, turn and accelerate much faster than a car in most cases, but car drivers just don’t get it. They don’t look.
SO many times have I almost been killed by inattentive idiots in steel boxes, in clearly visible spots that when someone makes an attempt on your life, either inadvertently or intentionally, you definitely need to do something about it.
Hit and run, which is what the arseclown in the car has done, is a crime, far worse than an almost non-event rear ender. If he had have stopped there, I seriously doubt that anything at all would have happened afterwards.
It wasn’t the accident that stirred these guys up, but the attitude that if you hit a bike it doesn’t matter and you can freely ride off.
