I just found out the fate of the driver of the red pickup. In another forum i found this:
Quote:
The pickup driver was arrested for reckless driving, DUI and the DA is using the video to consider reckless endangerment and possibly attempted murder charges. If convicted of all charges the pickup driver could get up to 24 years in jail. That's unlikely but he will likely see a felony conviction and jail time for his life threatening antics.
Here's one we've been discussing locally. Not sure if it has been posted here elsewhere yet...

Also, I think this is related to the story posted on this thread. I'm bandwidth limited, so I haven't viewed the video. If the incident above involved a red pickup...
sure would have liked to see the outcome of the police report.....likely the riders got sited for speed, the lead rider got sited for illegal pass on double yellow, and bubba got an atta-boy for trying to kill someone.....disgusting.

More like all three got busted... and they all should. While the truck driver was wrong, so were the squids flying past farmhouses at a high rate of speed...
"#5 We were not speeding in excess.55mph limit.Pace was maybe 50-65 from highest to lowest speeds."
Riiiight...
For a lot of reasons that are often contradictory, the sight and sound of a man on a motorcycle has an unpleasant effect on the vast majority of Americans who drive cars. At one point... a reporter for the New York Herald Tribune did a long article on the motorcycle scene and decided in the course of his research that "there is something about the sight of a passing motorcyclist that tempts many automobile drivers to commit murder."
Nearly everyone who has ridden a bike for any length of time will agree. The highways are crowded with people who drive as if their sole purpose in getting behind the wheel is to avenge every wrong ever done them by man, beast or fate. The only thing that keeps them in line is their own fear of death, jail and lawsuits ... which are much less likely if they can find a motorcycle to challenge, instead of another two-thousand-pound car or a concrete abutment. A motorcyclist has to drive as if everybody else on the road is out to kill him. A few of them are, and many of those who aren't are just as dangerous, because the only thing that can alter their careless, ingrained driving habits is a threat of punishment, either legal or physical, and there is nothing about a motorcycle to threaten any man in a car. A bike is totally vulnerable; its only defense is maneuverability, and every accident situation is potentially fatal, especially on a freeway, where there is no room to fall without being run over almost instantly. _______________
