imho, you did the wrong thing. You could have been shot |
|
|
or he could have run over your bike or just beat the shit |
|
|
out of you. Consider that the person is foolish enough |
|
|
to drive like a fool and may very well _act_ like one, too. |
|
|
|
|
|
Just get the heck away from the idiot. |
|
|
|
|
|
IF the driver does something clearly illegal, you _can_ |
|
|
file a citizens arrest and drag that person into court. |
|
|
It's a hassle for you but a major hassle for the perp. |
