Per Peter Cole:
Quoted message said:Charges should be made if the driver
can be identified.
I wouldn't get my heart set on it.
Some years back I witnessed (from the comfort of my car) a guy pull up next to a
cyclist, turn his head 90 degrees to the right, move his mouth animatedly, yank
the steering wheel hard so that the car veered into the cyclist - shoving the
bike into the curb - and drive off.
I followed the guy, flagged down a cop, told the cop it was definately
intentional.
After the guy drove off from his little tete-a-tete with the cop, the cop
explained to me that the driver "didn't see the cyclist" and that was that...
Scariest part of that for me was the realization that now there's one more wacko
in Philadelphia who knows for sure that he can use his vehicle to assult a
cyclist and get away with it.
