Re: Another near miss? Or mis-judgement?

Long, Steve

Remind's me of a story I once heard of a young boy walking along the
beach picking up star fish and tossing them back into the water. An old
man happened by and said to the boy, young man, why are you tossing the
star fish back into the water, it can't possibly make a different
considering the magnitude of them that wash ashore? The young boy look
down at the star fish in his hand and exclaimed, it makes a difference
to this one.

Moral of story, one-at-a-time.

Short of shooting them in the head...how can we make them change...I've
tried nearly everything else...polite discourse does not work....beating
them up feels really good...but most are darn hard to catch...I am not
sure there is anything that can be done...the main reason I started
riding mountain bikes back in the early 80s

These drivers need to realize that they have no right to deliberately
endanger law abiding citizens. We are getting hurt and killed on our own
roads, by people that have somehow convinced themselves that we have no
right to be there. Prosecute this person to the full extent of the law.
Keep us posted... if you have legal fees to deal with I will be the
first to help out. Every cyclist on the road needs to take a stand
against this behavior.
