Did you take any pictures?

I was at work a few months ago and I heard a few Deputies talking about an accident. The driver of the cage, threw a bag of trash from a local fast food joint out his window while going down the freeway. The bag hit a biker. The biker severed all over the road. From what I heard, it startled the biker.



Biker rides up along side the cage and gives him a few choice words. Diver gives the biker the finger and then swerves into his lane. Biker goes around the driver and you know how Harleys are always losing nuts and bolts… well I guess a handful fell out of the biker’s pocket and shattered the cage’s front window. I felt horrible for the cage… biker got away. Total shame….

At the time I was angry, the can had pop in it. Most of it ended up on my pants and ride. What really set me off was the smirk on his face and the phrase he said. Had he looked apologetic, I wouldn't have done it. Yes it was a dangerous response but you have to draw the line somewhere.

Sounds like you didn't do enough.

Hey toastman, if I'm walking and see some idiot litter I act like some "hero" and yell something like, "HEY! Buddy! You dropped something! Excuse me! You dropped something important right there..." I can barely keep a straight face when I do it, but it almost always makes them turn around and pick their crap up. Even if they don't pick it up it makes a scene and everyone around gets a laugh at their expense.

Sorry, i still call bullshit.
1. your in the fast lane overtaking a car, i would believe that
2. your still in fast lane when pop can hits you AND then you grab it? don't believe that one, what did it do hit you and stick to your chest?
3. threw the pop can back at him AT SPEED? nope i dont believe that either
But hey what the hell do i know? other than what you wrote is bullshit to me

I used to carry LARGE ball bearings (obtain at any steel recycling, small rocks work also) in my jacket many, many years ago. Directions for use: Use sparingly on only those well deserving. Pull about 6 car lengths in front of vehicle and casually drop them from your hand. Allow for one bounce, one ball or rock per car.
