GhostCycle #40


2nd & Pike


 

I was heading east on Pike and stopped at the light at 2nd Ave in the left lane (it's a one-way).  I pulled in front of a waiting car because the road turns to 3 lanes immediately across Pike and I would have pulled into the 3rd lane.  But when the light turned green, the car behind me (I was at about it's left tire, just ahead of it) laid on the horn and the drivers started yelling. I turned to glare, adn he slowly rolled into me and knocked me out of the way.  Then he yelled, 'you're not a car, you need to get out of the road, bitch.'
I filed a report and the cop promised to check the plate number and call me back.  He didn't and did not return my calls. I eventually got another cop to check the plate and he told me that the owner was a female and since I said a male hit me, he couldn't do anything about it.  He refused to call the owner.
