WWTEPD??- aka What Would TE Peeps Do

[smilingcat]

Contact the community resource officer in your police department and have him meet with the group to address the problem. It shouldn't be a voluntary meeting, have the officer show up where to ride meets and tell the group in no uncertain terms of how the cow is going to eat the cabbage. Weekend mornings are slow in most small to medium sized towns. Let the group know that officers are going to stop the group should violations be observed and the riders ticketed. End of story. No warnings. If your city has a bike unit, you might talk to the head of the bike unit as well. But it doesn't need to be a feel good meeting...a stern warning about what IS going to happen. I bet the PD would like to know when and where this ride begins because more than likely they have gotten complaints about it.

++1 and more!!

One thing I've learned about guys like these are that the only thing they understand is a $200 tickets. Have the police give them a stern warning at the meeing place. Then have other officers wait for them at few of the stop signs.

All it takes is one bad apple in a bushel... in this case its far more than one. There is no excuse for deliberately swerving toward the passing car and flipping off the driver.

And Denise,

I don't think you should be spray painting messages on the road. I believe that is a violation. AND I WOULD CALL THE POLICE ANNONYMOUSLY (if possible) TO AVOID REPERCUSSION FROM THE BAD BOYS. (oh Denise said poster boards not spraying painting the message on the road. BAD ME.)

Obnoxious and ill mannered riders like these boys really infurriate me.
