Read this slowly:
Don’t matter what happened prior to the SUV rear ending the MC...The fact is there was only one collision here and that was caused by SUV guy.
Get yourself updated....Regardless of what happens on the road, you don’t have the right to run into someone. I don’t care if they stop or simply slow down...You have no right to run into them..
Any other person with common sense would have slowed and been very careful with this many bikes on on the road...It’s pretty clear, SUV guy had the attitude he was not going to give them an inch...
After he rear ended the MC, he actually ran over another MC leaving the scene...Hit and run...
And he likely did this because he was mouthing off after rear ending the MC and suddenly found he couldn’t back up his big mouth...So he flees the scene, running over a MC in the process.

you might want to check up on HOW to change lanes as per NY

in no way does the “break check” after changing lanes qualify as a safe or legal manner of changing lanes.
