Although i'm a biker first and foremost, i am with the driver of the range rover on this one, purely judging by the video. I wouldn't know who started it in the first place because video doesn't show the events before, but the first biker that got hit was clearly annoyed with the driver somehow and trying to brake test a 4x4 is not such a good idea...
Anyways, whatever the issue was, end result is the driver gets mobbed by hundreds of angry bikers and does what i think the only thing he could, run or get killed...
Did you guys see this? Mob attack to a driver by bikers

If it was me in the Rangey I would simply have pulled over and let all the bikes pass.
But common sense isn't very common.

Re: Did you guys see this? Mob attack to a driver by bikers
True, and with a big 4x4 comes an extra feeling of false safety too... Thing is, if you are in the middle of a huge group (i.e. may day run bikers around m25) that may not be quite so easy to pull over. Regardless, it's a shocking incident.

Re: Did you guys see this? Mob attack to a driver by bikers
It is shocking. Both sides are in the wrong here. The biker deliberately (appears) to brake in front of the car and gets hit. Car with man wife and child gets surrounded by bikers. Man panics, fight/flight instinct takes over and drives through bikers. Bikers give chase, break car's window, beat up man in front of his wife. Fortunately no one got killed, as I understand it.

I am with the range rover. He was thinking about his wife and child. I feel the pack instinct took over here, I certainly would not like to be confronted by 100 bikers baying for blood.

It appears he acted in self defence if they were surrounding his vehicle I would have driven over people to save my wife and child. They had no right to attack at any time.
