I want to show you this post, then tell you what recently happened to me.
I was driving when a group on bikes did this exact move. They turned in front of me, and one of the bikers decided to try and block traffic. I don’t play that game. I slowed, honked my horn, and kept going. One of them tried chasing me down. I didn’t react like this guy.
The tactic is called “road blocking” and motorcyclists consider this to be a valid way to keep their little circle jerk together without having to be worried about being broken up by pesky things like traffic lights or other drivers. This is a bad idea. It is unlawful to “willfully obstruct the free, convenient, and normal use of any public street, highway, or road”. It can also be considered a “street takeover.”
Let me explain:
If 10 or more vehicles block a road through the use or threat of force, it is a felony- a forcible felony at that. You see where I am going with this? Some idiots trying to keep me from driving through the threat of force have just made a grave error.
Bikes, cars, pedestrians, or motorcycles, I don’t care- don’t block the road. Also, don’t try to come after me like some kind of law enforcement officer and demand anything. As one guy recently discovered, I don’t play your games.

I have seen LEOs and private security block intersections to allow a funeral procession to pass. Do you consider this to be any different? I’ll bet you don’t have a man bun either.

The difference is that funerals and police processions are authorized by law. This isn’t. See this guy:

Although to be fair, the cops were wrong. He was pulled over because the cops saw him carrying what appeared to be a firearm openly in a holster. Then as a result of that traffic stop, he was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon. Sure, the OCSO were assholes here and deserve to be sued and ridiculed, but that’s a different story. The guy that was the subject of that video is a complete asshole.
