<div>I hope they followed up to be sure</div>
<div>1. the driver was cited</div>
<div>2. the police actually took some action</div>
<div>About a month ago a plumber harassed the SDBC B ride. Police were called and they apparently sided with the road-raged driver who systematically was running the riders off the road. </div>
<div>So sad this lovely area is turning into a hostile city. <br><br></div>
