Gosh I'm just not that impressed either. Did he intentionally throw the butt at you to elicit such a strong reaction? Or is it because he's a leper and by golly we are going to treat him like one. I mean if he threw out a gum wrapper would you have done the same thing? No one can defend smoking or littering nowadays but that's not the point. We as cyclists are constantly made to feel like second class citizens and we rally against it. You made your point though, he's a smoker and therefore you can reprimand for that, right?. I just wonder how many drivers out there have absolutely no compassion for us, but that doesn't make it right. Choose your battles well.
