The cyclists intentionally blocked this guy by riding 2-abreast, by going slow (30 mph downhill is slow for a car). And then when this guy simply wanted to pass, they flipped him off and used the F-word. The doctor got ****ed and jammed on his brakes. He probably thought he would cause them to brake hard and lose their momentum. It's very unlikely he expected them to go through his rear window given that it never happened before. If you blocked me, flipped me off, and then gave em the finger, I'd do the same thing. You SoCal guys got a beat down that day. It was long overdue. The old "beat down" defense. Also known as the "but they ****ED ME OFF" defense. Yeah, that'll win the jury over. |

That fella who has the dead nose....... I bet you he won't be obstructing traffic, flipping off drivers, and saying "**** you" anymore. Actually, he probably will keep saying it, only now it will sound more like "Funk nyu" Ron Peterson is a good guy, and this shouldn't have happened to him. If the car passes, swerves in front, and slams on its brakes, how can you follow at a safe distance? Dr. Thompson is has anger-management issues and needs psychological help. |

I hope the good doctor gets his asshole reamed in prison on a daily basis. It's hard to know exactly how accurate, complete and/or biased the reporting is, but from what I've read, I hope the jury gets the same impression that I have and the dear doctor hangs. I've been in a situation where an angry driver pulled in front of a paceline and hit the brakes. We had no serious consequences but it quickly became apparent how that act simple act is anything but innocent and could easily end up being deadly. DR The cyclists deserved what they got. First of all, how come they couldn't stop their bikes in time? *A bike can stop faster than a car. Second, when a car is behind you trying to get around you, you don't ride 2-abreast and hold up the car....and then flip the driver off when he passes you. If you're driving a car and you hit the rear of someone's car, it's your fault. *I don't see why riding a bike makes it any different. Trollboy, I know you're just looking for love and attention, but don't be ridiculous. *There's a presumption, when driving or cycling on the road, that other people aren't going to deliberately try to cause an accident or hurt you. I agree, but not after blocking, and then antagonizing with profanity and gestures. *At that point, you're provoking a reaction. *You're looking for a fight. *And they found one. *And they lost. *In this case, the one guy lost his nose. This presumption is the only thing that makes roads usable for either cars or bikes. *"Defensive driving" means watching out for other people's screw-ups, not defending yourself against someone who tries to cause accidents, because there really is very little you can do about that. The cyclists intentionally blocked this guy by riding 2-abreast, by going slow (30 mph downhill is slow for a car). * *And then when this guy simply wanted to pass, they flipped him off and used the F-word. * The doctor got ****ed and jammed on his brakes. *He probably thought he would cause them to brake hard and lose their momentum. *It's very unlikely he expected them to go through his rear window given that it never happened before. If you blocked me, flipped me off, and then gave em the finger, I'd do the same thing. *You SoCal guys got a beat down that day. *It was long overdue.. In particular, because everyone including drivers follows at closer than the real safe stopping distance, it is possible to cut someone off. *The presumption that the driver who rear-ends someone is at fault goes out the window (or through the window, in this case) when the leading driver deliberately tries to cause the accident. In your crusade against idiots, you should be against Dr. Thompson. *Why? *He confessed to the crime. If he had told the traffic investigator he'd done nothing wrong, rather than bragging about teaching them a lesson, he might have got away with it. Ben I am entitled to not believe the testimony of the investigator. *I have a right to believe that Dr. Thompson didn't say that. * You have no right to tell me that I must believe the investigator. *Most cops are corrupt and have no credibility anyway, especially Calif. cops. *Also, most cyclists are known liars such as Floyd Landis and Tyler Hamilton. *I would ask these SoCal cyclists if they donated to the Fraud Fairness Fund to see if they had any credibility. *I bet you they did. I would also like to start a defense fund for Dr. Thompson called the Doctor Fairness Fund. Your point, however stupid, ignorant, blind or merely provocative, is noted. "They called me names and were blocking MY road - I was ENTITLED to try to kill them." One account has already described how the jury was half asleep as the defense "expert" discounted the eyewitness testimony, simply because it WAS eyewitness testimony. "Trust me - I'm an expert. You can't believe anyone." Let's see what the jury says. |

You can't believe anyone." Let's see what the jury says. Indeed. But let's remember that MorganMonkey thinks that bicycles can stop faster than cars. I find it impossible to believe that he rides. |

Wrong. He demonstrates an almost complete lack of knowledge of the stopping power of a bike. And for those others who aren't aware and don't want to look like the fool that MG is - a bicycle can stop roughly half as fast as an automobile because if you stop faster than about a half gee you roll over the front wheel. A bicycle's center of gravity is too high for rapid stops. I might also add that the amount of rubber making contact with the road on a bicycle is miniscule compared to a car, that's where all the stopping power is. Friction is dependent on the size of the contact patch. On the other hand, I've never rear ended a car. That's an interesting enough trick that I wouldn't draw any conclusions based upon the limited information I've seen so far. Emotionally, I'd like to see them lock the driver up and throw away the key. That's not necessarily justice, however. These guys rear-ended the car because instead of keeping their fingers on the brake levers and expecting this guy they just harassed to stop, they were off the bars flipping off the driver and verbally harassing someone who just wanted to go to work. Personally, I thought that was a nice move by the doctor. He's entitled to stop his car on the road. I bet you that guy with the Michael Jackson nose thinks twice before blocking cars and flipping them off. Please donate to the Doctor Thompson Fairness Fund. Thanks, Magilla |

Ron Peterson got a nose job by the resident Dr. Windshield because he was a smart aleck that day. It's just like that guy who wrote into Velonews said...he goes to innocently pass cyclists to go on his way, and the next thing you know he's being verbally assaulted and flipped off by some arrogant cyclists. http://velonews.com/article/99687/ma...curtail-future If you flip me off when I'm driving my car, I'll give you some ABS disc brake action too. Peterson got a little street justice that day. Now he has a Michael Jackson nose for the rest of his life....
