From the
LA Times
-- a man who stopped his car directly in front of a group of bicyclists in an attempt to injure them has
been sentenced to five years in prison

A police officer told jurors that Thompson said shortly after the crash that he slammed on his brakes in front of the riders to "teach them a lesson."
And yet most cyclists I know are already aware that cars are bigger than them, and that drivers can be morons.
