It gets rid of the "he said, she said" factor. Plus it shows that the driver had no patience for even full law abiding cyclists.

The key to the second point is that if they were riding at less than the speed of traffic, it could be argued that they were "delaying" traffic, or that they should be single file along the right hand curb, under CA law.

Indeed he is a nutcase... and this trial will hopefully legally prove it. I also hope this case also becomes an example for all the other nutcases that want to "teach cyclists a lesson."
When he eventually looses the case, I'm sure that he'll file an endless string of appeals.
