He was drunk. As a Washington, D.C. resident, he wasn't required to have insurance (And of course, he didn't). He didn't have a job, nor money, so suing was not an option. He was very angry at me for inconveniencing him and I hurt my knuckles pretty bad convincing him to quit attacking me. The police got every penny of their money (in fines and whatnot). I never got a dime. Now-a-days, I apply my brakes a little less sudden, and slow down until they back off or go around. -- Not a fan of our legal system Don Davis ...decvax!harpo!seismo!umcp-cs!aplvax!ded ...rlgvax!cvl!umcp-cs!aplvax!ded
