I’m with the U.S. marine

Foster took the witness stand in his own defense. He said he and a group of about 20 cyclists met in Rye for a coastal ride when he heard a car horn and a revving V8 engine, just before the Corvette swerved toward the cyclists, forcing some off the road and others "to fan around the car." The driver then applied the brakes "hard enough for the anti-skid to cycle," yelled and displayed his middle finger, Foster said.

"He was a danger to people on the road," he testified. "I knew what I had to do. He needed to be educated about safety."


Needless to say the judge didn’t agree.
