I think there's a larger lesson here. How could a doctor, of all people, act so irrationally?
I understand but there was already some tensions between the cyclist and the motor drivers in that city I am not in any way defending the doctors actions. I also find some bicyclist act like they own the road.
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.
Doctor, meet crazy Dr. Dean
The city of Houston put in a bike lane on my street. I live on a very busy 4 lane street that goes to the freeway. All they did was paint a stripe down the side of the street and paint some little bicycles on it. A couple of weeks later 2 cyclist were killed in their bike lane within 2 blocks of my house.
We were out of town when it happened and I didn't hear about it for a year so I didn't hear the details and don't know if it was road rage, or carelessness or what.
I used to ride a bicycle for exercise but I decided that it was not worth the danger of being killed or crippled for life. I've had road rage too.
Easily. Many doctors are arrogant little weasels.
Doctors get angry too, ya know. Hopefully not while their mitts are in my peritoneal cavity.
