Vehicle assault

Yep, that's what I always do when a car does something bad. Jump onto the
hood as it speeds away, dragging my feet on the ground in an attempt to
stop
it. That's why Sidi shoes have replaceable heel pads.


Even if her version were correct, which seem very unlikely, isn't it some
sort of actionable crime to drive down the road with someone on the hood of
your car? Something like an attack with a deadly weapon with intent to harm.

This will be an interesting case.



I'm glad Mr. Arp had only minor injuries, sounds like it could have been a
lot worst.
Would love to see the follow up on this case.

Sounds like he may have been trying for a TJ Hooker hood ride.

And everyone goes through a car wash on the way to work, to remove
the alleged fingerprints/scratches from cleats/lycra shreds stuck in
the wipers.

What a twit. I know plenty of 50-something dames who aren't airheads
or criminally defensive. Hope they string her up.

I had a semi-close call a Verizon telephone truck that ran a red light
as I was pulling out into the intersection. I tried to see the truck's
number but he sped away . . . to Dunkin' Donuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do I
detect a pattern here?

Better yet, write the company a letter. If ever this driver causes an
accident, there's a paper trail waiting for a lawyer. The paper trail,
in itself, isn't important; it's the fact that the driver's supervisor,
and the company's lawyer, know it's there. That's what will make a
difference when the driver hears from his boss.

I can hear Judge Judy yelling at her now:

"Oh, Come now, Mrs Mahgilla, that didn't give you the RIGHTto DRAG him DOWN
THE ROAD for 75 _FEET_, softly now did it?"

Indeed. There's nothing about it in the feeds around here, so please
keep us posted if you can.

By [the driver's] account, Mr. Arp [36] leapt on to the hood
of her car before she turned left on to Portola Road

Admirable acrobatics for a 36-year-old in cycling shoes.

I wonder if she will use the "I was in fear for my life" plea to explain why
she dragged the guy along side of the car in an attempt to flee from danger?
Still would not explain why she did not contact the police when she got to
work unless she knew she had screwed up.
