Don't tell them.
Is it worth getting fired over? or arrested?

How Do You Protect Your Self From This Idiot?

I like the way you folks think! The road in question (Yellowhead Trail) is in the basic heart of the city and takes you through at 70 to 80 kmph (42 to 50 mph). From all reports the unfortunate biker got hit a few times before losing control. There isn't a lot of room to get off except for shoulders, off ramps and curbs which would prevent getting off the road. The time of day would be busy as it usually has a lot of traffic at the best of times. Will keep you posted. Need a good Arizona Sheriff to take care of this dude for a few years.

The best answer is no be there. An enduro is great in such situations. Just get off the road where the car can't follow.

Please everyone, this particular area should be related to safety. I would rather not have it deteriorate into suggestions that advocate a response that would land a rider in jail with a felony charge. Admittedly individuals deliberately trying to injure riders is deplorable and we all wish it would never happen. Let's hope the court system sends the man away for a long time.
