[SDCBC] Harassment on Highland Valley

[markw]

All the police will do is take a report.  Unless they see him do it,
it's basically a cyclist(s) word against his.  Unfortunately someone
will have to get hurt before this guy is taken down.  There's not one
government agency going to act on him without hard evidence, worse case
is that he'll get a letter in the mail from CHP stating he was observed
violating CVC xxxx, and giving the code he violated.  Every time I see
an a__le maneuver on the road, I think to myself, if this was someplace
like FL or TX, these people would be more polite to each other. :)
