The guy that caused this whole mess and nearly killed two guys gets a "I wet my pants" ticket and the guys that were cold cocked and striking back at the assailant are going to be investigated and probably charged with a felony.
friggin' california.
It might be informative to learn just why Mr. Prius felt compelled to videotape bikers in the first place, as far as his being beaten after the collision.
Why is the Prius relevant to this story?
Bad personal wellness move there, Sparky.
My first impression was that this was a group of bicyclists but then came the real picture and now it makes much better sense.
Maybe the Prius driver was jealous...I always got 35+ MPG out of my Harley, and mine wasn’t built for mileage.
My local gas jumped to $4.45 a gallon, I drive a Silverado dually with a discontinued gas guzzling but god its so wonderful of a gas engine the 8.1 Vortec.
So starting last week I was riding to work on my 2009 Star 1300 Tourer, of which I have less than 2000 miles on it since I bought it new off the showroom floor, a combination of bad Alaska weather and being elsewhere limits my riding.
But anyway the bike gets 50mpg and loves cruising with its tall gears, but still its like being invisible, one driver actually looked me right in the eye and darted right in front of me.
I wonder if its just possible that many people are even more angry at bikers because they are the final insult to the socialistic promised utopia?
I would sell a kidney to see Obama on a Harley riding with the peasants. I saw Sarah Palin riding once.
Oh and just to blow some snot in the lefts morning breakfast I would like to form a “Birther Bikers Club”.
See which can be louder our exhaust pipes or their heads exploding.
People who drive a Prius are largely idiots.
It was a righteous beat down and a great example of not being able to prioritize keeping your car on the road against certain activities.
Over drove his skills.
Drifts into lane, over corrects, hits a bike, bounces off the concrete median, hits another bike. All kinds of stoopit.
Feel good story of the day, I’m happy the two bikers didn’t die at the hands of the “distracted” idjit.
His attitude adjustment sounds well deserved. Instant justice was had by all.
Even my Road Glide, with TWO bright headlights, isn’t immune from jerks pulling out in front, requiring quick braking and quicker handling to avoid a collision.

This 19 year old kid was probably just awed by the large group of bikers and wanted to record it. I don’t see how the fact he was driving a Prius has anything to do with it. Some of those bikers might own a Prius. In fact my neighber who used to ride a Super Glide with “loud pipes” owns a Prius.
My wife hates my constant use of my horn at the number of drivers who drift into my lane while on the phone.
Well, if he was just beaten and not actually stabbed, I think the cops should call this one even.
When my wife an I ride alone we encounter many cage drivers that get as close as possible to try and intimidate or scare us. Never happens when we are group riding.
I gotta agree! I’ve ridden all over the country, and I’ve been driven off the road by cage drivers more in California than everywhere else combined.
What the hell was he doing filming while driving? He’s lucky he didn’t kill someone. Ass kicking deserved.
I bet this pompus little metrosexual wussie had a “Coexist” sticker on his Prius too. I think they come factory installed...
