Should of been driving a tractor trailer could have gotten the whole bunch.

He should have stayed on the multi lane road for more maneuverability to run over the bikers. Or three or four clips in a tech 10 would have been an alternative.

A sadly delicious thought.

I've driven NYC multi-lane highways many times and the bikers are more frequent than they have ever been in the past. When traffic is slowed, they often weave between cars, drive on shoulders, between lanes, etc. They are always speeding, extremely reckless, always ride in groups, and are almost impossible to spot until they are on you. Since rapid lane changing is the most popular sport in NYC, there are many accidents and near accidents when someone leaves their lane and a biker is coming through. Since I don't live there, I don't know what the police are doing to deal with this, but I can see it would be very difficult to catch the offenders with anything less than camera coverage. The last few times I've experienced the problem, I've called 911 with the location and direction of the bikers.
In this particular incident, the group is part of the Hollywood Stunts. The guy who slowed in front of the Range Rover probably was reacting to a comment, gesture or car movement made by the driver earlier. Thankfully the driver sustained only a few stitches in the assault, and his wife and child are safe.

In my opinion, this problem is the biggest one on NYC highways at present. It's downright scary.
