Cyclist-Driver violence OTD

2012-09-01 00:07:59.063217+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Wow, it's rare that I'd side with an armed motorist over a cyclist, but from the events described in Detroit Free Press: Wayne County: Prosecutor ponders traffic accident, fatal shooting in Taylor sounds like this one was justified. From Shadow.

Meanwhile, closer to me, a motorist who drove on to a golf course in order to run over a cyclist has been charged with attempted murder:

Smith is suspected of chasing Soltani onto a golf course and knocking him off his bike after yelling at the bicyclist for taking his hands off the handlebars.
