Terror on Wheels: No 'Magic Way' to Stop Nice-Style Attacks NBC News
The Nice atrocity was at least the fourth politically or militant-inspired vehicular assault in France since 2014. Two attacks took place with motor vehicles in December 2014 in the towns of Nantes and Dijon, killing one person and injuring more than 20. In January, an attacker rammed French soldiers who were guarding a mosque in Valence, although none were killed.
An ISIS video circulated this month called on followers around the world to run down Westerners, according to the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism (ICSVE).
"Fill your cars with gas…" the video instructs, according to ICSVE, showing images of an SUV driver preparing to run over crowds in Australia.

threat comes not just from jihadis but anyone with a grievance and a car. Lakeisha Nicole Holloway was accused in December of killing one person and injuring dozens more by mowing down pedestrians on the Las Vegas Strip, while Last year, a man described by authorities as mentally ill killed three people by plowing his car into a crowd then stabbing passers-by in Graz, Austria.

November 23, 2018 Man Named Mohammed Arrested Trying To Run Over Jewish Men in Los Angeles  American citizen from Somalia drives rental car from Seattle to Los Angeles to try to run down two men outside of a synagogue after yelling hate-filled insults in an obvious hate or terrorist attack rather than blaming it on huffing-caused accident.

November 3, 2018 Girl Scout Hit and Run Huffing Driver 4 girl scouts and a mother were killed and another girl injured while they were picking up roadside garbage along a rural Wisconsin highway in Lake Hallie when a pickup veered out of his lane, crossed the center line, hit the people entirely by accident, and ended up in a ditch before fleeing the scene. When authorities caught up with the driver, they were told by 21-year-old Colten Treu and passenger that they were huffing compressed gases which does not explain the improbability of scoring the vehicular equivlant of bowling a strike, hitting all of the pins entirely by accident without careful aim. In January vehicular homicide charges were filed against Colten Treu  who authorities say inhaled chemical vapors, and drug-related charges  including posession of math were filed in Rusk County.  Treu had already been investigated after he drove his vehicle into a ditch in September, about a month before the fatal crash(2)  Colten Treu, 21, and his roommate later told authorities there had been a fight for the wheel as they saw  the scouts and the car started drifting towards the scouts but they differ in their accounts of how it steered into a crash. (3)

April 23, 2018 10 killed 13 injured suspect arrested no connection to terrorism yet. Toronto Van Crash Attack Alek Minassian is accused of renting a van and deliberately running down people on the sidewalk in Toronto  has been charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder and 13 counts of attempted murder. As he was about to be arrested, [16] suspect Alek Minassian can be seen brandishing what appears to be a gun and screaming at the officer to "shoot him in the head".  Police have arrested a 25-year-old IT student over the Toronto van rampage that left ten people dead. Alek was a software  engineering student.  [18 ]Canadian Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale does not think Minassian’s killing spree was an act of terrorism as the preliminary theory is that Minassian may have had mental health issues and had an online discussion praising "All hail the Supreme Gentleman Elliot Rodger" who went on domestic terrorist style rampage at UC Santa Barbara

December 6, 2015 June 6, 2016 DA Ken Thompson Still Hasn’t Charged Driver for December Sidewalk Killing  by Brad Aaron The allegedly unlicensed driver who killed Victoria Nicodemus on the sidewalk faces a maximum penalty of 30 days in jail and a $500 fine. Her family says Brooklyn DA Ken Thompson seems OK with that.  Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson charged the driver who killed Victoria Nicodemus on a Fort Greene sidewalk with unlicensed driving, but did not file charges for taking the victim’s life. Six months after the crash, Nicodemus’s family says the DA is dragging his feet on the case. Marlon Sewell hit Nicodemus, her boyfriend, and another person with a Chevrolet SUV on the afternoon of December 6, 2015, as the victims walked in front of 694 Fulton Street, near South Portland Avenue. Police told WPIX Sewell was “zooming” down the street. An NYPD statement said Sewell swerved onto the sidewalk to avoid hitting a second vehicle, which witnesses said was a bus.

“The bus stop was right there. He didn’t realize it was stopping,” a witness told the Daily News. “The driver went up on the curb trying to avoid it. He was going pretty fast.”.. charges against Sewell are aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, an unclassified misdemeanor, and operating a motor vehicle while unlicensed, a traffic infraction. For crashing on a sidewalk reportedly at a high rate of speed, killing one person and injuring two others, allegedly while driving without a valid license, Sewell faces a maximum penalty of 30 days in jail and a $500 fine. That’s the same penalty an unlicensed driver would face for making a turn without signaling.

December 20, 2015 1 killed 30 injured 1 arrested. No motive Lakeisha Holloway Accused in Las Vegas Baby On Board Terrorist Style Vehicle Rampage A 24-year-old Oregon woman had her 3-year-old daughter in the car when she allegedly intentionally drove her 1996 Oldsmobile onto a sidewalk and into dozens of pedestrians Sunday night on the Las Vegas strip, as she would drive back on the curve to hit more people. One person was killed. After the attack, she drove to a casino, left her toddler in the car, and told a valet parker she had run over some people and requested that he call 911.  Deputy Chief Zimmerman announced "This was not an act of terrorism. Initial investigation appears this was intentional" but others said that terror could not be completely ruled out either.  It is said that she was stressed out by being homeless and living in her car and hassled by people who would let her park. She may have had some conflict with the father of her child, and that she wanted others to feel the hurt in her life. One of her cousins, LaShay Hardaway, said she was a successful, overachiever and this wasn’t something she would ever do. Holloway reportedly told police “I am hurting, and I want others to feel pain!” and she gave a motive to authorities which they were not "comfortable" releasing but it did not indicate any connection to terrorism.

Police are searching for a motive since terrorism was quickly ruled out. Campbell was arrested two hours later after turning himself in. He was charged with murder, 16 counts of assault with a deadly weapon and 17 counts of hit-and-run. He was a transient living in a late model Dodge Avenger who had served time for shoplifting in Colorado.
