Yes, they are still young enough to LEARN. Please try talking to the school.

Report it the behaviour to the school, the police may even post a car out to watch for this reckless behaviour when school lets out.

I would report this behavior to the school --- Denise

I am definitely going to report this behavior to the school. I hope that ultimately the teens will be safer and that no one else will be subjected to this kind of harassment.

Thanks for listening, I hope the school is responsive.

I am on the opposite corner of Ohio, I think. I know here, the police are awesome when it comes to HS dismissal. Not only does it keep others safe, it ulitmately teachers the teen drivers to be safe.

I called the State Highway Patrol and reported this traffic hazard. They were very polite and took all the relevant information and promised to step up patrol of the area.

What about Drivers Ed? I know not all states do this via schools, but if they do in Ohio, why not make it an occaision to make sure the driver's instructor teaches kids to respect other vehicles on the road (namely bicycles).

I know, teenagers are tough to reach, but I bet no one has even told them bicycles belong on the road.

Ugh, sorry to hear about your bad experience! Teenagers get tired of being stereotyped as rude and reckless, but some still go on acting inconsiderately. It ends up reflecting badly on the whole lot of us. Glad you talked to the authorities about the situation, you could be helping out future cyclists.
