i think it sounds like a potentially reasonable outcome to a possibly escalating and hazardous scenario.
most every driver I've had words with is all talk and no bluster but I've also had to use pepper spray and been chased thru residential districts by enraged motorists for just having words.
The motorists that are jackasses dont' know the rules of the road, are already dangerous drivers in and of itself. they don't care about road safety or bicyclists' rights.
I think massive public ad campaigns would serve us a lot better than the farfetched and highly unrealistic cyclist edication motive of the vc crewe.
