    What bikerchick says is very important. I know I'm usually sooo mad that I don't remember to do it, but try to get that plate number and phone it in. One of the policemen in our town is a dedicated cyclist, and he says that they indeed want that stuff on file. He also said that if there are several on the same person, they'll contact the driver--accident or not.

    Thanks Aint Doody...love your username btw...

    I will definitely make a mental note of it next time and report him. It was a big rig with no company name but next time I wouldn't hesitate to call the company and complain about the driver.

    I run across a lot of semis-drivers who like to terrorize cyclists, it seems. I had one guy in an 18-wheeler almost nick me when he passed, at the same time hitting his horn. Almost went off the road. Another time, had a couple of yahoos in huge pick-up trucks chucking empty beer cans at me as they passed.

    I can't help but think these guys need big trucks because they're inadequate in other areas. ...

    Glad you're OK. ...
