Some of you have raised some interesting points. If I had been one of the cyclists in this situation, I would probably have just steered off the road and stopped so the SUV could continue on his way. It's really not worth it to fight a big ass truck when you're on a bicycle. Right of way doesn't mean dick if you're dead.

We can argue about who was right according to the letter of the law, but I think we need to concede that both parties were just being stupid in this situation. Acting according to the law is not always the most sensible thing. Either party could have applied some common sense at some point and avoided the entire confrontation.
