Wow this thread blew up ...

IMO, these bikers are a bunch of asshats. I don't think the driver will have a very difficult time convincing a jury that he feared for his life even before he ran over the bikes/biker. And if any further evidence surfaces, I suspect it will only bolster the driver's defense. I will be interested to see how the law is applied in this circumstance.

If I were the driver, you better believe that the first guy I grabbed after a window got busted would have a gun shoved down his throat in a matter of seconds. Also, I would have had my wife on the phone with 911/police immediately after running over the bikes (of course I understand there's a chance this lady didn't speak English) explaining the situation and trying to coordinate a plan of action. I'd like to think that I would have driven towards a police station or something rather than into traffic.
