Backing up a bit, I would not be in that situation. I avoid states that do not allow for full use of a self-defense, so I would likely not be driving in NY in the first place.
If I came across a group of bikers taking up two lanes, I would move over to the right lane...because squids like that generally signal trouble. Legally not required, but the smart way to avoid conflict. If the accident was unavoidable and all that, I'd pull over and call the cops with the passenger taking a video recording in case things got messy.

I don't hate bikers, but the minority gives a bad name to the majority...
I usually get out of the way of cunty drivers or bikers or whatever. I even pull to the left if I'm in a carpool lane and let them pass if I see them coming.
At the same time IF THESE are the facts:
Driver accidentally, maybe even purposely cuts off a biker.
Bikers get pissed
Bikers brake check the car
Driver hits biker due to brake check
Bikers all stop enclosing driver
If we ASSUME all those to be true, as soon as my door handle was pulled and the first fist was thrown at my window to break it...
I would have done EXACTLY the same as the driver... And having the wife and 2 year old in the car (in my mind) gives him all the more right to do so.
Hell, if it was me, if I could think fast enough, I'd try to mow down the maximum number of bikers to avoid them coming after me after. And god knows I wouldn't let traffic stop me. For my baby's life, I'd ram other cars, run lights, and do whatever. If I get boxed in by traffic, put that bítch in reverse.
ESPECIALLY after they broke his window. Sorry. ALLLLLLLL bets are off.
I'll go to jail to save my baby. I hope most if not all of you would do the same.
