Good!
"Christopher Thompson, 60, wept and apologized to the two injured riders before he was sentenced in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
"The physical and mental scars are my fault," he said.
He has recurring nightmares about one cyclist smashing through his car window, Thompson said."
Imagine how bad he would have felt if in his one senseless moment of anger he'd killed the two cyclists. People are so impulsive they don't think about consequences.
If I were a judge, I'd sentence him to buy a bike and commute by bike for 2 months. Fight the same traffic/anger/abuse that most of us do on a daily basis. That would be a far more impressionable sentence than prison IMO.
