Buzzed by a Truck on a ride? Here's what to do about it.

Brad Houston, Austin attorney and bicycle rider has a unique way of making the offending vehicle driver pay for his or her agressive actions toward bicyclists.

Brad writes, "I regularly represent cyclists who have been hit by cars or trucks and advocated the insurance claim.   Separate from my law practice, as a fundraiser for Meals on Wheels, I write letters to registered owners and the drivers of vehicles that drive dangerously close to cyclists, either intentionally or by accident.  If the facts warrant, I demand a check to Meals on Wheels or threaten a civil lawsuit.   Works about 90% of the time.
 
I need a "full" license tag number, description of the vehicle and driver and a the circumstances of the incident, date, time, road, direction of travel, how many cyclists were involved and exactly what happened."
