Again, passive/aggressive resistance--if you see a car theft happening, walk away and say nothing.
Not sure whether this was in response to my last post. If so, let me say this.
Were I to witness a felony in progress, I would stop my bike and use my cell phone to call the appropriate authorities.
To respond in like kind to all too common incidents of minor misbehavior and discourtesy or petty legal offenses, I'd be a walker rather than a cyclist as I stopped to react to each one.
I'm neither passive nor aggressive. Just practical. I am also aware that my efforts would be very unlikely to bring about behavioral changes in others. Rather, I expect otherwise minor situations would escalate at my expense.
