As part of my employment, we are undergoing through some driving technique training... My agency is not charged with attacking, or pursuing bad guys (some sections actually are), we are in business of protection, so we are "designed" to flee a scene... They teach us how to throw a car in reverse, back out of a blocked road, do a J-turn and take off, they showed us how to properly ram a car that is blocking your way to escape the harm... The more important thing about the training, not just the physical ability to execute those actions but the mental preparedness to encounter such a thing...

As I drive, I treat my daily commute and leisure trips as a walk on a wild side, when something can and will happen... If I were driving the RR, i would have tried to avoid the damage and injuries but my paramount goal would have been to protect the welfare of the child and spouse, and i would have treated anyone outside of the vehicle as a potential threat, regardless if the person was a simple bystander or whatnot - if the person was in close proximity to my conveyance, he is a threat and should be dealt with accordingly... if the guy ended up under the RR as the SUV moved forward, it is clear that the guy was deliberately blocking the path of a moving vehicle in order to assist his accomplices in inflicting harm to the RR driver and passenger - does anyone here think that the bikers stopped the vehicle to offer ice cream to the kid and flowers to the lady???.

Self-defense is clear here...
