Default Jeep Cherokee Angrily Cuts Through Pack of Motorcycles




A Jeep Cherokee driver wants nothing to do with a group of motorcyclists on a Veterans Ride. But he should have learned that patience is a virtue.

Unfortunately the punishment for what that guy in the Jeep did probably won't be severe enough. These veterans are out on the road, just like him but for a cause. There is no excuse for that kind of behavior and putting countless individuals at risk. That guy's license should he suspended for reckless driving and I hope that all of the veterans go to his court case and plead their case. They have a nice video to prove his dumbassary!!

It was a pre-arraigned motorcycle event. Vehicles were to remain behind the parade of motorcycles. It wasn't a spur of the moment thing. Additionally, it was escorted by the local police. The vehicle was wrong to pass and jump into the motorcycle group, endangering the bikers. Unfortunately, as posted on various other outlets, the bikers are being blamed, due to the ignorant knowledge of the event and bias against bikers.

My cat is going to cross the road at 4 pm on Tuesday with a police escort in support of the 'mice freedom coalition'.
Now you know about it.
Do the rest of the drivers in the world know?
Why are all the parade bikes in the left lane and only 1 in front of the Jeep with its brake lights on? Why is the guy on the bike filming the jeep from a high angle while crowding the lane on the jeep
quarter panel?
Veterans or not. Bullying other drivers from what the video shows.

Obviously you're only goal is to troll since you make a rediculous comment about your cat and didn't take the time to research what had happened, only to rely on your bias and limited view of the video. As I said, it was an organized bike event. The jeep was behind the group, then decided to overtake the group, illegally, passing the motor cops who were assisting with the ride, then endangering the others and finally driving off the road to overtake the bikes. The driver was ultimately arrested, by the parade cops who observed his actions.

100% agree the Jeep driver is an ahole. I have run tribute runs and while I understand he is in a hurry to get somewhere, endangering others so he won't be late for dinner or work or whatever is BS. He's lucky the cop was there to save him.

There should have been a police in the rear. It isn't always clear when coming up from behind. Boers aren't the only vets around either.

101 Gargoyles is a total tool! How can anyone say that this Ass in the Jeep wasn't totally wrong. And the other one saying that the cops should have been in back? If anyone has ever ridden in one of these, they are on the sides and in the back blocking sides streets for the event safety. Unbelievable!!! An Ass like this doesn't deserve to own a Jeep! My 2 cents.

Maybe there should have been a rear motor cop, which would have possibly eliminated this incident. The only one in the rear that I noticed was the one who was blocking the intersection, then when the bikes passed/cleared it, the motor cop sped up ahead, (passing them on the left) to the next intersection. Similar to what one would see during a funeral procession
