Even though this story takes place in DC, it is worth noting the courage and conviction of this one cyclist who also happens to be a police officer. A truly eye opening experience in the ordeal to prosecute someone. And a bit of a inspiration:
"…This isn’t quite as good because you’ll notice none of the vehicular assault charges were pressed. They were dropped. I think its just as important to show that you can’t use your motor vehicle to bully cyclists on the road."
If you are in DC you can help but a point I would like to bring into Maryland "[cycling advocacy organization] agreed to give a community impact statement." I’m not trying to avoid giving WABA credit here just pointing out one of many services a bicycle advocacy organization provides and if your are not in WABA’s territory there are other groups willing to help. The worst thing any cyclists can do when involved in an accident is feel like they are alone. We are a community, and odds are if you are ill treated others are as well. Together we can make a difference.
