Update on the bikers who terrorized a New York City Family.

126. Oh yeah. I've had those experiences, too.

I was doing the speed limit in a school zone.

The only thing I messed up on during my driving test was not seeing the school zone posted. It was a trick set up by the DMV and I was one of thousands of new drivers caught by it. Guess where my first ticket came from? A different school zone, but yeah, not slowing through a school zone.

I am punctilious about school zones. This jerk rode my bumper all the way to my turn as I rigorously stayed at the speed limit even beyond the school zone. I was fortunate in that he apparently was more interested in getting to his destination than "getting" me.

There was another occasion in which some guy came right up on my back bumper as we were traversing a winding, sweeping, downhill curve on which he could have easily maneuvred around me. He came up so fast I didn't have time to move. He was at the top of the hill then on my bumper before I knew it. Then he rode my bumper.

After he did that, for the next several miles I made a point of making sure he was stuck viewing the back end of my car. I was younger, more foolish, and more invincible back then. Oh, and I drove a much faster and more maneuverable car back then.
