Range Rover Runs Over Bikers in NYC, 1 dead

[lethe]

I'm thinking that there's more to this than just what we saw. The camera was turned on at the moment it was for a reason, my opinion is that the very beginning of the incident was not seen. I'm hoping one of those guys had a gopro running continuously and video'd everything.

oh there is tons of video
they even tried deleting it but it was too late and it is all over the place now

I love how they have a few quads riding with them on the streets.

They might be the 12 o'clock boys.

It's interesting how some actions I do alone look so much more sinister when performed en masse.

But last time I looked driving your SUV over another road user (even a road abuser, even a scumbag, even a lawless, aggressive mothermake the beast with two backser with no right to be there) also falls outside of your obligation to legal road usage within the right provided by holding..... valid drivers license, valid registration, and valid insurance. 

Did you forget about the SUV being vandalized, and the multiple people attempting to assault the SUV driver? His driving credentials may not give him the right to run someone over, but his right to defend himself does.

The dude that got ran over wouldn't have if he didn't put himself in that position. He's no more a victim than a burglar who gets shot by the homeowner he was trying to rob.

Smashed windows out and dragged someone out of their car and beat them up have you?

I've broken some mirrors and dented some quarter panels, but I have not broken windows or drug someone out of their car.

But that's not important right now. I mean lane splitting and using the sidewalk. (sidewalk usage was to park)

I would have rammed into the first guy that crossed the double yellow. I need a new paint job on my front bumper

You would intentionally run into someone on a bike knowing what could happen because he's on the wrong side of the road?



Ohh, there's a smiley, it's a joke.

I kidd! I would never do that to a fellow biker.

The point being, its one thing to cross the double yellow when there is no oncoming traffic; and a whole another level of stupidity to ride head on into traffic. Guess he was thinking he was Angelina Jolie!

Time to lock this thread down..............

Forget?  Not at all. 

I already suggested the mothermake the beast with two backsers be dealt with....

Yeah, you're probably right.  I hate swarming packs of attitude.

Execute the mothermake the beast with two backsers.

they're far worse than mere attitude
Realistically it really might just be a small handful that are the real trouble but the pack follows their lead and those few are real bad as in get in your face and cut you for looking at them funny bad if not worse.

I see.  So make an example of the few real bad mothermake the beast with two backsers and execute each of them every day for a fortnight.

no, these guys were great people

Quote:
Edwin “Jay” Mieses Jr., 32, who was riding one of dozens of motorcycles on the Henry Hudson Parkway Sunday afternoon, sustained two broken legs after apparently being run over by the SUV, police said. He remained in critical condition Tuesday at St. Luke’s Hospital in New York City.
And...

Though Mieses is a Massachusetts resident, he has never had a valid Massachusetts driver’s license for a passenger vehicle and has never applied for a motorcycle license, the Registry of Motor Vehicles said.

Registry records show that Mieses applied for a learner’s permit in 1999 and 2000, but that he never obtained a full license because he failed to pay fines imposed after he was ticketed for speeding in Lawrence in 1999. His last contact with the Registry was in 2001, when he obtained an identification card, registry records show.

Since 1999, he has been ticketed by police 16 times, in Lawrence, Methuen, Roxbury, Andover, and New Hampshire, according to registry records.

In June, the Registry notified the National Driver Register that Mieses was a habitual traffic offender whose right to drive in Massachusetts was revoked until 2017, records show.
