my empathy is for the driver. i fully understand his flight or fight running over bikes and bikers to get out of an explosive situation. i fully understand his probably being a sunday driver. i get being distracted while driving.
so after 2 pages peppered with gfyers stating they'd happily run over people, i.e., putting themselves in the same situation, i finally chimed in.
the only difference is i hit the rewind button a bit and said if i were him i would have realized the situation unfolding when i saw a bunch of jiggling headlights fast approaching in my rear view.
several people took issue with that, calling me a sociopath, bullshitter, not capable of understanding, etc.

gotcha - I'm with ya
One time I was in a similar situation being terrorized in my car by a group of hostile dudes and I drove out of it by taking off (literally OFF) the drivers door of his Porsche - cops showed up and ticketed me for it too. (got out of it...) So thats probably why I sided so heavily with the driver - sitting trapped in a car can mean death when seriously mean motherfuckers want to hurt you.
