For not giving me a spare inch and nearly blowing me off the road on San Gabrial Canyon Road today.
Funny, the other four trucks could obey the 3 foot passing rule but not you.

Just curious, did they have their flashing lights on and sirens wailing ?.
If so, it's typically the law that all other vehicles on the road (bikes included) are supposed to pull over and yield the road.
If not, then you have a valid complaint.

Sirens don't give them the right to run people over, regardless of the urgency.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and just assume that none of the top three posters would be complaining if the sirens and lights were blaring.

No lights, no siren, not rushing to the scene of anything other than, perhaps, an early lunch.
Sent a letter to LA County Board and cc'd the Fire Captain by Email. If it had been a less experience or skilled rider they could have easily been blown off the shoulder. Total BS.
