Almost Killed Again

Saturday on River and Alvernon an SUV driver LOOKED RIGHT AT ME in the left lane. I was 5 feet way from him, that means I was still next to his bumper. Right there he decided my life was worth less than the space in the lane and he took it.

That was the last time I simply give a cager a finger. The next one will be in for a suprise. The next one is going to be photographed at the stop light as I dial 911. I am also going to photograph other car license plates for future witnesses. If he runs, I follow, when the cops catch up I will let them sort it out.

I feel for you Kelvin. I have had some really close calls. How about posting an album of shame for cages that put us in harms way?

If you have a close call or see one and are able to SAFELY get a pic of the car and license plate let me know and I will start a Shame Album.

Hely Kelvin,
Same cage almost hit me about 5 seconds earlier, he was an old man who had a hard time driving !!
I honked my horn at him twice but no he did it to you as well in less than 5 secs!!!

Will hall of shame for cages is a great idea!!

Kelvin, I am glad you are safe, there is some real crazies out there, the photography idea I really like!!!!smile

I'm jealous of all of you that can function a phone/camera while riding. A wall of shame sounds great but there won't be any entries from me lol

That "shame album " is a great idea! I'll be sure to check it before I head out for a ride. That way I'll have better idea of what vehicles could be a risk to me.
