I'd like to ask a question to anyone familiar with this strip of highway...
Would it have been better if the SUV driver, instead of speeding away after the initial run-over of the cycles, had just gone maybe 25 mph and stayed on the main strip of highway (all while calling the police, of course)?
My thinking is that he's not going to outrun the cycles, but all he needs to do is go fast enough so that they can't dismount. And I'm guessing that if he'd stayed on the main highway he wouldn't have gotten blocked up in traffic. If any of the thugs would have gotten in front of him to block him, well, you got to protect your family, and you would hope the thugs are not THAT stupid. And of course, you'd be hoping the cops would show up pretty fast to put a stop to it.
Would this have worked?
