I know LA is a weird place but there's no accounting for this kind of
behavior.

Man, thinking about that some more- those guys were really clipping
down the hill when this asshole jammed on his brakes. That was a hard
impact. Brrrr.

Think about this - if he had gotten out and quietly helped the injured man
and kept his mouth shut the courts probably wouldn't have gotten involved!
The only thing we have going for us out there is the fact that more cops are
riding bikes these days to maintain physical fitness.

I was run off the road by a California Highway Patrolman who then drove
rapidly away before I could get his number.
