Deersty, that's incredibly awesome. What I would give to have seen that. Man...
Sorry, Dave, that really sucks. I've been finding, more and more, that in order to not be hit, I have to take proactive steps to compensate for other-driver idiocy. I guess this is kind of an obvious point, but it seems like every day I have to extend my reasonable bounds for accident avoidance. I now take it as a given that somebody *will* pull out in front of me and maintain a speed half of what I was doing, and that I should pull to the side of the lane when stopping (on my motorbike) so that I have a shoulder escape route, and so forth. It's getting rather absurd... but it doesn't seem like anybody wants to take steps to say "stop driving like fucking retards or we're taking all your licenses away."
Actually, just this morning a woman was following so close to me that I nearly waved her by just to get the chance to take a pot shot at her mirror. *sigh* Sorrry about your luck, really..

When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.
