crazy stuff, guy in a Range Rover apparently drove through a crowd of motorbikes as it fled with its family inside for fear of being attacked.

Who said bikies are only a problem on the Gold Coast?
On the serious side, I don't know what started the attack. The video starts off with a motorcyclist brake testing the Range Rover. Afterwards the car is seen running over a pack of bikes and speeding off. Whether something provoked the rider into brake testing him or not, we will never know. |

I would love to know what actually started this . As I can easily see both sides depending on the circumstances . Wasn't the guy brake testing him behind the door when brains were handed out . I know I'll use my 150 kilo bike to brake test a 2 tonne car , that'll work , what could possibly go wrong ?

Hopefully the lawyers of the guy in the Range Rover get the above video.
More irrefutable proof that the driver was in the right. |

Just after posting this I looked at Trevors post and watched Pottery Beiges link . On balance it would appear these ********* gather on a regular basis to terrorise motorists for the hell of it . The photo showing the injured guy wearing a Nazi helmet which pretty much says it all for me . There is still no concrte proof just how this started sadly . This is the very reason I have a camera in my car .

I can't think why anyone would deliberately drive into you without a reason.

From what's seen in the video it's not the start, the guy in the range rover is a dick head for trying to drive through a pack of bikes and should of backed of like other cars are doing. The range rover panicked and the bikers got ****ed because he's run a few of them down. Range Rover was in the wrong place and looked like he just wanted to barge through.

From what I saw the RR was just driving down a freeway and freeway speeds when a bunch of bikes approached from BEHIND and surrounded him and the one in front deliberately slowed down to annoy the driver or cause an accident. If you looked up these guys, and other videos of them, you would see they are known douche bags. So somehow I doubt this was a big misunderstanding. Also Convoys are a illegal. This video shows a perfect reason why. |

I can vouch for one time--when we were leaving Bathurst last year.
It may not have been deliberate, but there was no reason for it to have happened and the bloke who did it obviously didn't care. (This was truck hitting trailer, though.)

I have been reading about this since early yesterday morning, the thousands of bikers were on an illegal ride, they were cranky that they couldn't do what they wanted to do, there was a lot of frustration built up, apparently the Range Rover was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and may have upset one of the riders, but then mob mentality kicked in and all **** broke loose.
They punctured the tyres of the RR, he kept driving fearing for the life of his wife and daughter, many of the Americans believe he should have pulled a gun - LOL |

looks like the rage started after he did a hit and run(bike was in the wrong)hit and run is against the law.when I was in the state's if you had a prang even a minor one you would not even move your car till the cop's arrived even if blocking a major freeway(oh yeah I've been riding for over 40 years the biker did a dumb thing)

Humans can be stupid. When motoring its advisable to assume the other motorist is a nutter and to not provoke him, especially if youre in a smaller vehicle.
