The motorist will not only put the life of the cyclist at risk. They will put their own life, and the lives of other motorists at risk when they try to avoid the accident.
Exactly, I was on 9th St. N. here in St. Pete a couple of years ago when someone threw an egg at me. 9th St. N. isn't a road that one wants to drop a bike on.
Are you talking about the doctor who brake checked several cyclists over a period of time. The last one resulting in one of the cyclists crashing through the rear window loosing his teeth and almost loosing his nose? If so who died?
Again, exactly, in attempting to avoid the crash in front of them other motorists will more likely than not end up in a worse crash because they were trying to avoid a crash in front of them.

If that's the video that I'm thinking of wasn't the owner basically told that the should consider himself lucky that the thief didn't do anything to him by mall security? As well as the thief "egging" him to call the cops?
