I am suggesting that if you know for a fact that it is happening that you should turn in the offender.

Doc zoomed in front of the bikes then cut them off too quickly for them to stop.Too bad for them. Nobody died. And I'll bet they were riding tandem when the doc cut them off. Selfish jerks.

Feel free to address the question, instead of dodging it.

I am a biker, but I only ride on a secluded, paved forest path here in Florida, no cars allowed. I just want to zone out on my bike, I’m not interested in riding in traffic at all. There’s too much road rage, too many people not paying attention, including myself. Worst thing I have to watch out for on my path is a rabbit or a dog off its leash...or a random, stray, angry pitbull that chases me o0!

That may be true but it seems the intent to harm or injure was found in this case. Not allowed in my book.

There are a lot of corrupt doctors out there. They treat people all the time that require no treatment at all....Then charge the insurance carriers....Happens all the time. Feel free to prove your statement.

Cutting other traffic off gratuitously like this is at the least a moving violation in any locale. This medico has a history of this, however, which is why the hammer came down.

You’re right. In Brentwood he should have assaulted with a knife in order to avoid prison time.

Boy, I dunno. I used to ride when I was young. That’s enough for me to empathize. Of course, I only occasionally encounter cyclists en masse. It does seem that one is required to go more slowly for a few moments, or even minutes. But to me it is an occasion for contemplation.
I am by no means immune from the impulses that lead to “road rage”. My daily commute is just a few miles and lasts a few minutes, but that doesn’t stop me from fuming over being held up by a slowpoke. I do, however, hear a still small voice that says, “Stop being an a**hole.”

Most bike riders are elitist dirtbags who never obey the rules of the road. Don't forget, car owners pay the gas taxes. the bicyclists get a free road.
