That is true, but it also the drivers in the cars called the police. Do you see drivers calling the police when bikes are in the road. No you don't, they have the right of way. It also said this road didn't have any sidewalk for him to run on, what was he suppose to do try and drive in the ditch or on the shoulder. What if he tried that and turned the chair over on top of him. Now stop and think for a minute with today's car drivers. How do you not know he did not recieve any road rage before the police were called that could have caused him to be uncooperated. People do it all the time. I believe he should have the same rights has a person on a bicycle.
