<p>Dear motorist-</p>
<p>I was riding a few miles south of here and you nearly ran me off the road. The road was wide open and you had no reason to be so close to me. Please remember that you need to give 3 feet of clearance to a bicycle rider per Illinois law. I saw your car parked here. Please pay attention so nobody is injured or killed next time. </p>

<p>In hindsight, I should have dialed 911 while I was there, had the police come by and at least question the driver.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I still think it would have boiled down to he said, she said, but it would have least give the jerk something to think about. I'll contact Winnetka PD later today and see if what they say.</p>

I'm 100% sure it's the vehicle, but no idea who was behind the wheel.<br />
<br />
Even if I could identify the driver, what would be the best I could expect with no witnesses? Still he said she said.

<p style="text-align: left;">If you are sure it is the vehicle and a description of the driver. You should talk to them. There is a 3 foot law isn't there?</p>
