Drivers tell Boston 25 News they’ve experienced this type of reckless behavior before.

“Sometimes when they pass cars and you on the highway or you driving they like to zoom by (cut out pause) or have a little fun or test you when you’re driving,” said Eddie Cotton, Boston driver.

In the video released by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, drivers can be seen braking to avoid hitting the caravan of bikers on two lanes of the Expressway.

“Sometimes you don’t see them. I don’t want them to be hurt. I want them to be safe. I wouldn’t want to hit anybody,” said Cotton.

State police say authorities have not made contact with any of the riders who ventured on the highway and put themselves and others at risk. It’s unclear if police are looking to pursue charges or citations at this time.

No additional information at this time.
