What a maroon.
And speaking of assisted bicycle incidents, my neighborhood
facebook group had a new post last night about a group of teens
(probably all less than 16 years of age) on e-scooters and
e-bikes swarming random autos. Apparently they hide in the dark
along an entrance to the subsivision, then pull out in front of an
entering car and slow way down. When the car tries to turn away,
they speed up and get in front of it again, then slowing down.
Ugh.
My reaction would be to call 911, but my wife had the brilliant
idea of coming to a full stop then starting to take pictures of
the delinquents.
