I guess 'yes', but I don't think it would happen.  Only stupid people do break check in front of the bulldozer ... lolz ...

 

Are you serious? So I'll come run you down with a bulldozer, guess you deserved it right? Since you stand in my way and I'm frightened.

What I meant was that before the video started there must be something else, the bikers were already surrounding him and wanted him to stop, break check was the final thing to get him to finally stop.

What if a nuclear bomb went off and the guy in the SUV was trying to get his family out of the shock wave. I'm sure there were more filming (or at least one guy with a continuous recording) seeing as it was their annual "be a dick on the road" gathering.

Looks like they were being dickheads on all sides. 

 

Having been in a car that was attacked and the driver's side window smashed in my husband's face, I can't say I blame the SUV driver for freaking out when they attacked his car. As far as he was concerned his life and that of his family were in danger at that point. What the hell do you expect him to do? Of course he's going to try and get away. You go beyond 'common sense' and being rational at that point. And no, sitting around trying to get the police isn't going to save you.

 

I guess it's quite likely the SUV driver did something to provoke them in the first place. There is a reason why when I see an SUV I think something along the lines of what Charisma said, that is, "liable to be a ######ing clueless idiot". As a biker though I always feel far more vulnerable and less inclined to pick fights with cars. You're on a bike, you can just get away quite easily most of the time. But, in this scenario you have the herd mentality of the bikers, egging each other on and being aggressive.

 

As for people think it's a good idea to brake check others, no, it's not. It's stupid. Do not engage in erratic and unpredictable behaviour. Do not antagonise someone who is clearly already irrational and aggressive, you are not going to teach them anything. Do not try to police other people's driving, it's a waste of your own time and energy and it's dangerous.

That was ridiculous mob mentality by the bikers.  I really can't add anything that hasn't been said already.  The guy in the SUV must've been terrified.  And as for the comment about running someone with a bulldozer, if I'm posing a threat to you and your family and you're on a bulldozer I wouldn't be surprised in the least if you used it to run me over to get away from me.  Also, you're implying that the driver of the SUV purposely aimed at a motorcycle with the intent of harming them when it is obvious he made a decision to get the hell out of there any way possible and since the ###### bikers had blocked his way he could only go over some of them.  I hope they got arrested for beating him up.

The bikers clearly provoked it, but its no excuse to run them over.

This has been discussed a few times.

 

Assuming the police report is accurate, what other option did the driver have to get him and his family out of a bad situation?

I can kick a vehicle all day long and not leave evidence.

 

It is a matter of how hard they hit it, and where.  Kicking side skirts won't dent because its usually fiberglass.  Bumper covers are plastic...

 

However, it would make enough noise to scare occupants.

 

 

We don't know either way, but not hearing the other side to refute it leaves suspicion.  Right up there with why the brake check, and no explanation given.

So, someone kicking the side of a vehicle (not hard enough to dent) now equates to your life is in danger, punch the gas and plow down people?  The guy is practically in a tank.  Even had the glass been smashed you'd barely get a scrape from the glass beads.

 

I think people need to work on their definition of "I felt threatened".  Had this guy just played it cool and perhaps (gasp) communicate with the bike rider, none of this would have happened.  If other people kick your car then STOP and call the police. Or, record it on your phone for the police.  

 

Not saying the driver was at fault for the accident, but he sure as heck was at fault for what followed.

Lets see you surrounded by that many bikers, with a wife and child in the car, them kicking and smacking the car.  Which causes the wife to most likely become hysterical the child to cry.

 

 

Lets see if you feel threatened or not.  I've no doubt you would, and saying otherwise is dishonest.

 

Lets be clear, if they broke the glass, it wouldn't be to hurt him with the glass, it would be to pull his ass out of the car and/or get in.

 

Not only that but we don't know if they left dents or not.  Nothing is high enough resolution or close up enough to see.

 

 

This was not a simple lack of communication issue.  The SUV stopped when he hit the first bike.  Nothing like a bunch of bikers then stopping all around you and blocking you from all sides to escalate an issue.  If it was a simple issue of communication, then they wouldn't have done that.  Or rather, if it was a simple issue, their stupid actions escalated it further.

If you have a massive group of bikers surrounding your vehicle, deliberately slowing down in your path and acting in a threatening manner then YES that does equate to danger. Assault is legally defined as the "threat of bodily harm coupled with an apparent, present ability to cause the harm", which certainly seems to have been met. That's especially true at the point where bikers get the vehicle to stop and try to enter the vehicle. I oppose vigilante justice but protecting yourself is an entirely different matter.

 

The bikers were completely out of order.

First off all any of you that think you are justified to run ANYONE over is an idiot. Ive been riding a motorcycle for over 15 years, and have saw just about every idiot on the road. People DO NOT pay attention! There are mothers everyday swerving into my lane because they are texting and driving while they have their children in the back seat. I have carried a 9mm with me almost every time I go out, and if you think you can try that crap on me you will quickly realize how hard it is to react with a hole in your head.

 

 

The man driving put his family in more danger running those bikers over then if he had stopped the first time. It was VERY clear the first accident the biker was calmly walking up to the SUV. The driver of the SUV endangered his family by running them over. First you cant out run a bike. Second, after running over a group of people and not stopping, the bikers had every right to try to rip that guy out of his suv. At that point the guy was endangering EVERYONE on the road.

There were bad decisions all around.

 

If the police report was true, and they were harassing him when he stopped, then he was in danger by sitting there too.  Participating in an annual bike ride doesn't mean you are not a serial killer, rapist, thug, etc.  I cannot honestly say if I was in the same position that I wouldn't have done the same. 

 

The idiot who brake checked put himself, the other riders, and the family in danger.  Don't play out these guys as saints.

 

Every single person who participated in this crap put themselves, others, and the family in danger.  Leave law enforcement to the police.

 

REGARDLESS of what the driver might have done initially before the video, these idiots on bikes made it 100x worse with their actions.

During normal circumstances, absolutely. But when it comes to protecting your personal safety I consider it absolutely justified.

Surprise, surprise... Someone that was there spoke to media (Jalopnik)

I saw these guys yesterday, the bikers, and what a pack of ###### they were. Splitting lanes on the highway at speed (70mph between 2 cars), cutting people off. They had me boxed in so I couldn't get out of an exit only lane so they could get off. Not saying they deserve to be hit, but they had it coming.

I had my blinker on and was handsignalling I needed to get out of the exit only lane. everyone kept passing on the left to cut me off in front of the exit, 4-5 of them flipped me off. I tried rolling slow but they had no inkling of how to ride well. I ride myself, and this was just heinous.

Nothing like a a bunch of bikers illegally splitting lanes (at high speed, no less) to keep everyone safe.

 

Some of the people who defended them here should take note on how they were acting.

Not surprising at all. I could tell within seconds of watching the video that they were a menace to other road users and held no regard for the law.

Maybe that is what started this all.  One of those d-bags was cutting through traffic at high speed and they accidentally clipped them or honked at them, flashed their lights, etc.

 

Who knows what sets people off.  It doesn't take a lot to invoke maximum road rage.

If try to run me over, you are actually putting my life in danger, vs the perceived danger the driver of the suv "FELT HE WAS IN". The difference is the driver of the SUV chose to ACTUALLY put the bikers in danger. What followed was a result of his actions.

 

Just because there is a pack of bikes means ABSOLUTELY nothing. There is a preconceived notion that bikers in general are just plain bad, you can see it in almost everyone's post on here. The altercation started BEFORE the camera started rolling, you can clearly see the focus was on the SUV the moment the camera started recording.

 

The driver of the SUV was in a very large vehicle. The bikers did not try to pull him out until AFTER he ran up and over the group of bikes! At that point the driver of the SUV had committed a felony and the bikers had every right to make a citizens arrest! You guys need to read some legal books.

 

 

And I will add this, if you try to run me over, you will be dead. When my life is ACTUALLY threatened as such when the SUV driver ran over the bikes I would not hesitate to protect myself. I served for many years, and have survived war. I will not be taken out by someone who acted carelessly. Period

Guess what, Internet Tough Guy, if I try to run you over it's because you are posing a threat to me or my family.  Come for them and one of us will end up dead because I would die protecting them.

As others have already said... bikers were dumb in general and caused the accident, then mob rule demanded some type of justice.. driver fled in a hurry to avoid pain and possibly death to him, his wife, and 5 year old son.

 

He was better than I would fair in that situation, I am not sure I would have kept cool while being antagonized and chased by a bunch of bikers then having my windows broken out.

You joined Neowin simply to post on this thread? I was going to post an intelligent response to this but it's not going to change your opinion. The citizens arrest part was the best part. Thanks for a laugh. *goes to read some "legal books"*

The bikers knowingly chose to put themselves in danger, heh.

 

I wish we could stop this crap of bikers being ran over too.  Nobody was run over, their bikes were.

 

Hence, only the driver had injuries.

 

Which brings up another point.  How did nobody get run over when this first started, if they stayed on their bikes??

    • Newegg offers insane combo deal on Amazon Prime Day 2026 that beats Steam Machine

      Sadly "beats Steam Machine" isn't much of a brag.
    • An oversimplified explanations of Passkeys

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      Passkeys: Think of them like a broken heart necklace. Imagine one of those heart necklaces that breaks into two matching pieces. One person keeps one half, and the other person keeps the other half. With passkeys, the website has one half, and you have the other half. If the website gets hacked and someone steals its half, that stolen piece is useless by itself. It cannot unlock your account without your matching half. This particular heart necklace is one of a kind, there is only one in existence. Your half of the necklace has to be stored somewhere. It might be stored on your phone, tablet, computer, security key, or a password manager that can sync it between all your devices. A security key is a small physical device that you keep with you, kind of like a house key, car key, or flash drive. I would not usually recommend a security key as the first option for the average person. For most people, it is easier to use their phone, computer, or a password manager that can sync passkeys between their devices. A security key is more like a spare key you keep in a safe place, just in case you lose access to your other devices or your password manager. Some security keys plug into your computer. Some plug into your phone or tablet. Some get tapped against your device. The idea is simple: a security key can hold another passkey for the same website. Think of it like creating a second one-of-a-kind heart necklace for the same account. One necklace could be paired with your password manager, while another necklace could be paired with your security key. That means the website has more than one matching half on file. One half matches the passkey in your password manager. Another half matches the passkey stored on your security key. So, if you lose access to your phone, computer, or password manager, you would still be able to log in using the passkey stored on your security key. Think of it like keeping an extra special necklace piece on a tiny keychain, stored somewhere safe. The website still has the matching half for that security key, but your half is safely stored inside the little key. A passkey does not automatically exist on every device you own. It lives wherever you save it. If your half is stored on one device, then that device is the one that has the matching piece. For example, if you create the passkey on your Windows computer and it is only saved to that computer, your iPhone does not automatically have that same half. If you create it on your iPhone and it only stays on that iPhone, your Android phone does not automatically have it either. That is where password managers come in. A password manager can act like a protected jewelry box for your passkeys. Instead of your half of the necklace being locked to only one device, the password manager can securely sync that half to your other approved devices. For example, Apple Passwords and iCloud Keychain can sync passkeys between your Apple devices. Google Password Manager can sync passkeys with your Google account. But password managers such as 1Password and Bitwarden can sync passkeys between everything, your phones, tablets and computers. Now, you might ask: “What happens if I lose access to the device that has my passkey?” That depends on where your passkey was saved and what recovery options the website gives you. If your passkey was synced through a password manager, you may be able to sign in from another device that has access to that same password manager. For example, if your passkey is saved in iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, 1Password, or Bitwarden, another approved device may still have access to it. If your passkey was saved only on one phone, computer, or security key, and you lose that device, then you may not have your half of the necklace anymore. In that case, you would usually need to use the website’s backup login or account recovery options. A lot of websites that support passkeys still let you fall back to your regular password. So if you lose access to your passkey, the site may still let you log in with your password, a code sent to your email, a text message, a recovery code, or some other account recovery process. That is convenient, but it is also important to understand: if the website still allows password login, then your password still matters. Passkeys are safer than passwords, but if your account still has a password as a backup, you should still use a strong, unique password and turn on two-factor authentication if the website offers it. This is why it is a good idea to have more than one safe way back into important accounts. For example, you might keep your passkey in a syncing password manager, add a second trusted device, save recovery codes somewhere safe, or set up a backup security key. A passkey is very secure, but just like a real key, you need a backup plan in case you lose access to it. Now, you might ask: “What stops a hacker from copying my half of the necklace?” That’s the important part: your half is protected. It is not something you type in, and it is not something the website gets to keep. Think of your half as being locked inside a tiny safe on your phone, computer, security key, or password manager. That safe only opens when you approve it with your fingerprint, face, PIN, or device password. When you log in, the website does not need to see your half. It only needs proof that your half matches its half. Your actual half is not handed over to the website. This is different from a password. With a password, you type the secret into the website. If you type it into a fake website, the hacker now has it. With a passkey, you are not typing your secret into the website. Your device is proving you have the matching half without giving the half away. That also helps protect you from fake websites. If someone makes a fake login page that looks like the real site, your device can tell it is not the real match. It will not use your passkey there. Now, could someone use your passkey if they stole your device, got into your password manager, or somehow unlocked the safe that holds your half? Yes, that is why your device password, PIN, fingerprint, face unlock, and password manager security still matter. But a hacker cannot just steal your passkey from the website or trick you into typing it into a fake page like they can with a password. That is why passkeys are safer than passwords. The two matching pieces have to come together, like two lovebirds who were once separated and are finally reunited.
    • Newegg offers insane combo deal on Amazon Prime Day 2026 that beats Steam Machine

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Newegg offers insane combo deal on Amazon Prime Day 2026 that beats Steam Machine by Sayan Sen Building a PC is undoubtedly difficult nowadays but with this epic combo deal, Newegg is trying to make it as easy for you as it is possible. If you are making a new one or even upgrading an old system to a new Windows 11 device, this combo bundle is truly unmissable as you get AMD's Ryzen 9800X3D, a compatible X870 motherboard, a 240mm AIO liquid cooler and finally a Samsung 990 PRO SSD all for under $1000 (purchase link under the specs table down below). This should beat out the newly launched Steam Machine from Valve in terms of performance and performance per dollar especially if you are willing to set Linux up on it. Essentially with this combo you will get the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-core 3D V cache CPU, Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD, the MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX Motherboard, and finally the Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240. Thanks to that massive vertically stacked L3 cache, the X3D desktop processors, including the 9800X3D, also come with the benefit of not needing fast memory. Even DDR5-5600 should be plenty for it. The technical specifications of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D are given in the table below: Specification Value Architecture Zen 5 Cores / Threads 8 / 16 Base Clock 4.7 GHz Max Boost Clock Up to 5.2 GHz L1 Cache 640 KB L2 Cache 8 MB L3 Cache 96 MB Total Cache 104 MB CPU Core Process TSMC 4nm FinFET I/O Die Process TSMC 6nm FinFET Socket AM5 Default TDP 120W Max Temperature (Tjmax) 95°C Thermal Solution Not included Memory Type DDR5 Max Capacity 256 GB Memory Speeds 2x1R: DDR5-5600 2x2R: DDR5-5600 4x1R: DDR5-3600 4x2R: DDR5-3600 PCIe Version PCIe 5.0 PCIe Lanes (Total/Usable) 28 / 24 USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) 4 USB 2.0 1 Graphics Cores 2 CU RDNA 2 Frequency 2200 MHz DisplayPort over USB-C Yes Overclocking Unlocked Up next we have the tech specs for the MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI Motherboard: Specification Value Chipset AMD X870 CPU Support AMD Ryzen 9000 / 8000 / 7000 Series Desktop Processors Socket AM5 Memory Slots 4 × DDR5 UDIMM Maximum Memory Capacity 256GB Memory Support DDR5 8400–5600 MT/s (OC), DDR5 5600–4800 MT/s (JEDEC) Integrated Graphics Outputs 1 × HDMI 2.1 FRL (up to 8K 60Hz) 2 × USB4 Type-C with DisplayPort 1.4 HBR3 (up to 4K 60Hz) Expansion Slots PCI_E1: PCIe 5.0 x16 (CPU) PCI_E2: PCIe 3.0 x1 (Chipset) PCI_E3: PCIe 4.0 x4 (Chipset) Audio Realtek ALC4080 Codec 7.1-Channel USB High Performance Audio Supports up to 32-bit/384kHz playback on front panel S/PDIF output M.2 Slots 4 × M.2 M2_1: PCIe 5.0 x4 (CPU, 22110/2280) M2_2: PCIe 5.0 x4 (CPU, 2280/2260) M2_3: PCIe 4.0 x2 (Chipset, 2280/2260) M2_4: PCIe 4.0 x4 (Chipset, 2280/2260) SATA Ports 4 × SATA 6Gb/s RAID Support RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 for M.2 NVMe storage devices Rear USB Ports 4 × USB 2.0 3 × USB 5Gbps Type-A 2 × USB 10Gbps Type-A 1 × USB 10Gbps Type-C 2 × USB4 40Gbps Type-C Front USB Headers 4 × USB 2.0 4 × USB 5Gbps Type-A 1 × USB 20Gbps Type-C LAN Realtek 8126-CG 5G LAN Wireless Wi-Fi 7 (M.2 Key-E module pre-installed) Supports 2.4GHz / 5GHz / 6GHz bands Up to 5.8Gbps Supports 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4, MLO, 4KQAM Internal Power Connectors 1 × 24-pin ATX Power 2 × CPU Power Connectors 1 × PCIe 8-pin Power Connector Fan Headers 1 × CPU Fan 1 × Combo Fan (Pump/System) 6 × System Fan RGB Headers 3 × Addressable V2 RGB (JARGB_V2) 1 × RGB LED (JRGB) Other Internal Headers 1 × EZ Conn-header 2 × Front Panel Headers 1 × Chassis Intrusion 1 × Front Audio 1 × TPM 2.0 Header Debug Features 4 × EZ Debug LEDs 1 × EZ Digit Debug LED Rear I/O Ports Clear CMOS Button Flash BIOS Button HDMI 2 × USB 40Gbps Type-C 1 × USB 10Gbps Type-C 4 × USB 10Gbps Type-A 3 × USB 5Gbps Type-A 4 × USB 2.0 5G LAN Port Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Antenna Connectors Audio Connectors Form Factor ATX The Samsung 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more.

    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I heard from a lot of people that driver support for the latest games when RDNA first came out (Radeon 5000 series) was pretty bad, but if you didn't buy the card on day one, or were not trying to play the latest titles, then you were isolated from that issue. Other than that, it's been good and only getting better.
