After all, under the Rules, she committed an assault." Bullshit!!!
Come on, speculation...... Road Rage Sucks: To the "Woman in the White Vest":

Galaxy: Mad props to her for returning the litter to it's rightful owner and mad props to those people who intervened. If id'a seen her drop his garbage back in his car I woulda laughed...... Jeremy: I like how the bikers say "fuck him, fuck his car" and "she's right, he shouldn't stomp her bike".
So her property should be respected, while his is fair game.
Someone else already summed it up -...... JayMTL: Just to add another dimension - the thing I miss the least about being a courier is the road rage. Having people swerve at you in their cars sucks - but what sucks even worse...... jsolo_uno: "It actually looks like he is trying to smash her bike, not her. Photo 6 looks like her assulting him while he's jumping on her back tire (maybe rightfully so)"
fuck that, the freak is practically...... Jeremy: I'm on the courier's side until she elevates to vandalism.

for those of you who dont know, the {MTA} just enacted rules- that went into effect yesterday- that prohibit food/beverages on...... anas: So, at $2.50/gallon, on average, that's about two gallons. That motorbike probably gets about 75 miles/gallon, so that would add up to around 150 miles, I'd say. You can surely see alot in 150 miles......
