A "good" example is the "good" doctor from LA who is now cooling his jets in prison. IF it hadn't been for other cyclists reporting the "good" doctor's behavior on the road then in his last assault on innocent cyclists wouldn't have resulted in his conviction.
DC,
My concern is that local law enforcement would become apathetic towards my calling them to report all my incidents. I've learned to pick my battles, go after the really dangerous motorists, and I generally get better results if I keep my reporting to a lesser degree.
