Default Cyclists save motorist?


http://www.newsoftheweird.com/archive/index.html

"[Man], 50, was injured in a September incident in Concord, Calif., in
which he became enraged at a group of bikers and drove toward them in his
car, waving a pool cue with his left arm. It wasn't the bikers who injured
him, though. Brooks got out, still in a rage, walked around behind his car,
and was backed into because he had left the car in reverse gear. The
collision knocked him into traffic, but some of the bikers pulled him to
safety. "

See, the poor dears need us! ;-D

Bikers in this case being people in leather jackets with skulls on,
according to the original news article. If it hadn't been, I'd have had no
compunction in publishing the driver's phone number, which a Google search
generously reveals.

I despair of the English language. We're all going to end up speaking
like Telly-Tubbies soon.
