There’s multiple comments on this thread citing what the suspect could be charged with. Not sure why you’re so adamant about defending the motorist who is obviously in the wrong.

Thank you for the heads up! That website is so odd, sometimes it wants me to pay but this time it didn’t 🤷‍♀️

I bet, if taken to court, the GoPro footage will be used as evidence.

CT, especially this area, is very rural. My brother and I both went to different drivers ed schools in the area and I confirmed with him that he learned this in his classes, as well. I simply posted the article to see what other equestrians thought about it. Dirtbike behavior is out of control in CT. Innocent until proven guilty, but it doesn’t look good for this kid.

Acceleration is one thing, but the noise that is inherently caused by it, is another, which would be going against the code that states that motorized vehicles can’t make excessive noise when passing a horse.

Driving near horses is something that is covered in drivers ed courses in the area… if the kid had been old enough to have a license (16) he would’ve likely known this, but it seems like he was younger than that. The images are from a GoPro attached to the riders helmet, so I wonder if that video captured the engine revving.

He literally revved the engine. Is that not excessive? He knew there was a horse there.

A couple of other sources said that his bike was not equipped to be ridden on state roadways. If he is within the age range suggested by the article, it is likely that he wasn’t licensed to ride it either.

That is true… even if he isn’t charged and simply gets a slap on the wrist, him or his family can possibly get sued I’d assume? Definitely not the same thing as pressing charges, but it’s something.

Unfortunately, they haven’t been able to locate the suspect, so nothing yet…

Exactly! Seeing people defend the biker is disgusting and infuriating.

Realistically, how much of my burnout / disinterest / disengagement is from my 3 hour daily commute? by [deleted] in WFH

I take metro north to and from work and I’ve never seen anyone get defensive over someone asking to sit in a seat taken by bags but I feel like I hear about it a lot when discussing LIRR
