Cop hits cyclist
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
Officer Wilhelm of the Whitemarsh police Department badge number 56 is aggressive and dangerous. While riding with 5 friends on a Saturday morning, Officer Wilhelm signaled us to ride single file and then attempts to pass us on a narrow road with no room. While passing he hits one of us with his suv. Here he is attempting to defend his actions and enforce a law he has failed to understand. (We were also traveling at 20-23mph in a 25 mph zone and the officer had no emergency lights on) Here are the laws regarding Pennsylvania bike safety: http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/ped_bike/docs/pamanual.pdf RIDING SIDE BY SIDE "Bicyclists often like to ride side by side so they can talk with each other. Riding two abreast is legal in most states. It's okay on a straight, flat road. There, drivers can see you from behind, and you can usually see or hear them approach." RIDING ON A NARROW ROAD "Understand that the law is on your side. The law gives you the right to use the road, the same as a motorist, and to make other traffic slow down for you sometimes. Since you don't have eyes in the back of your head, you can't be expected to keep track of the traffic behind you at all times. The driver approaching from the rear is always required to slow and follow if it's not possible to pass safely."

I was completely annoyed by the female bitching on the side in a situation that had nothing to do with her. Did anyone else her saying "love it" and see her stick her tongue out ? Disgusting
-

-
That old ass lady has nothing better to do
-
He tried to pass the cyclists, almost got hit by oncoming traffic, because he didn't look properly and blames the cyclists? How completely fucking retarded is he?

As a bicyclist myself it troubles me to see a cop not understand the fricking law and thinking he is above it. But, that being said my buddies and I always try to ride single file as much as possible to avoid crap like this. It's not always an answer to be "legally in the right", although you would hope that since a cop was involved that things would have gone differently. My only real issue was the officer not allowing you to leave when he obviously figured out by then that he was in the wrong. I hate to say it, but after watching loads of youtube videos the bikers should have followed the "am I being detained?" route. If the officer said yes, then get him to say why since at that point you probably should build your case. Thank goodness for video so you at least have a hope of getting treated fairly.
