Yippee! You reported him! That's the best thing we can do.

Tis better to wear out than to rust out....
I drive a BMW , a black one too... It says IRONMOM on the license plate. Whenever I even THINK I see a bike I try to move into the other lane to give them room. Or I'll slow down and give them a wave when I go by.
But this a- holio is giving us BMW owners a bad name!!![]()
Glad you got the last laugh tho! I just hope he doesn't take that big ticket he gets out on another cyclist.
errr. title was suppose to say DRIVER, not rider!!
Uhhh.... I thought BMW drivers already HAD a bad name??
(Present company excluded, of course!)
But it all comes back to that joke -
Q: "What's the difference between a BMW and a porcupine?"
A: "With a porcupine, the pr**k is on the OUTside!"
Jenn, glad you're okay.
I give you both credit for keeping your cool. I don't know if DH and I would have been so restrained in your place. Well done.

Yep, I thought it was porsche drivers too. But I could se that in BMW drivers. It's comical when I take mine in for an oil change. There are some real pieces of work in the waiting area!! lol
And for the record... I didn't want a BMW. I wanted a KIA! I drove a volvo for years and I SWORE to my husband that I was done with expensive cars. Then I drove my aunts X5. But they husband won out with the sedan... sigh... I just didn't win in that one!!![]()
But I digress...
Sorry to hear you go through that, Jenn. Please let us know if that guy had the book thrown at him!
I don't see that with Porsche or BMW drivers. I think they're so common in my area that it's not a big ego thing. The problems I run into are with A) Big-necked bubba drivers of shiny new half-ton pickups and B) Spanish-speaking drivers of old, beat-up work trucks who can't undestand why you're not on the sidewalk.![]()
Prius drivers seem to be the most polite on the road. They always smile and wave. Volvo drivers seem to be polite, too. And Volkswagen drivers always seem to have a "Mean People Suck" bumber sticker on their lime green bugs.![]()
I'm glad both you and DH are ok jen and that the jerk got called on his fat laziness! Keep riding and screw the jerks!
