4x4s are pretty deadly it seems...

[Dave]

I remembered a TRF guy told me someone here in the UK got killed by a guy in his 4x4 on a lane.

Well a mate of mine showed me a clip recently of a 4x4 running over a motorcyclist in the states. I tried to find the full video which is below.

The motorcyclists in the US are being procecuted for attacking a man in a 4x4 after it happened.

A little more digging and it seems that the motorcyclist is paralised from the waist down, in a coma, his health insurance doesn't cover being run over (only motorcycle accidents -then wtf is this!?) and the banker in the 4x4 is getting away with it.

Even though it looks like the bikes weren't totally innocent I still think the banker should be procecuted for crippling a guy for life by running him over.

When a car tried to knock one of our riders off the road doing a stupid overtake into oncoming traffic, during Stewies Big Bike Ride, it makes me wonder what happened before the video starts.

Big post on this on the KTM forum with links to videos before this incident.Have to say the bikers were riding like complete Knobs with little or no regard for other road users,jumping lights ,riding on the pavements and generally intimidating other road users.Not saying who was right or wrong but I dont think I would brake check a 2 Ton Range Rover on a bike.

Why is the drivers profession relevant? Just a thought

Yeah all the same info there too. Just speculation of a different perspective. It's hard to build a good picture.

Here's yet another which says about the injuries and prosecutions of that guy who was being dumb on his bike http://news.sky.com/story/1149255/biker ... s-in-court .

I saw what you mean BusPass, there is an issue with bike gangs being intimidating before this incident. Is it the same group?

Certainly don't get this level of disorganisation when doing the M25 loop for the motorcycle Parking protest :/

America,the most litigious society in the universe.......................Cant think why a banker would be a good target.............................

The irony of that Dave is had the car driver just pulled in behind us he would of see us fall off of our own accord......
