Unsafe drivers who use their cars and trucks as weapons should be reported to law enforcement authorities IMMEDIATELY before  an innocent person gets hurt or killed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This evening around 7:30 pm a triathlon coach and wonderful multisport athlete was subject to a nightmarish experience that defies reason.  He was almost hit by a vehicle in South Riding driven by a male in a Blue Chrysler 300 at the intersection of Center Street and Mcintyre Square.  Then the motorist kept coming at riders, telling them that he was trying to kill them !  This road is part of the wonderful South Riding Triathlon course presented by TriPerformance, and does not seem like the setting for such a &#8220;road rage&#8221; incident.<\/p>\n<p>The Chrysler came around the cyclist and quickly slammed on his breaks (the cyclist thought the motorist was trying to avoid hitting another biker who was about 5 bike lengths ahead).  The cyclist called out &#8220;WOAH WOAH WOAH !&#8221;  The driver rolled down his window and started abusing the riders.  When the closest bicycle <!--more-->rider asked the driver if he knew he almost struck a biker, he responded, &#8220;Yes, motherf&#8212;-r, I meant to hit you !&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The closest cyclist of the group then asked, incredulously, &#8220;Do you realize if you would have hit me with your car, you would of seriously hurt me, and or at the rate you were going, possibly even killed me ?&#8221;  The irate driver&#8217;s response ?  &#8220;That&#8217;s right motherf&#8212;r,  I meant to kill you!&#8221;  The bicycle rider&#8217;s reply to this tirade was to advise that her was going to call the police.  While the cyclists were waiting, the raging driver drove by about 4 times flipping them off every time.  This dangerous driver then switched vehicles to a black suburban with a &#8220;For Hire&#8221; license plate on the back, number &#8220;H66077?&#8221;.  He drove up and abused the bikers again while they were waiting for the police, and then tore off speeding down center street.<\/p>\n<p>This driver is dangerous.  He admitted that he intended to injure and kill innocent people riding their bicycles.  What is worse, he may be a professional driver.  Professional drivers should be even more aware of the safety of everyone on the road.  Even if there are no physical injuries, the &#8220;intentional infliction of emotional harm&#8221; is actionable under Virginia law.  If you witness this person in another episode of &#8220;road rage&#8221; please be careful take note, alert law enforcement authorities at once and let the <a title=\"landau law shop web site\" href=\"https:\/\/www.landaulawshop.com\" target=\"_blank\">Landau Law Shop<\/a> know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This evening around 7:30 pm a triathlon coach and wonderful multisport athlete was subject to a nightmarish experience that defies reason.
