LUCAS Irrigation company truck almost hits cyclist
The truck marked the stop sign for a few seconds and yet decided to go despite the incoming cyclist (me). I was lucky that the shoulder widened right at that moment and I could swing and avoid the truck. Its bumper was 3 inches from me and I had to stop riding after this. My legs wouldn't work anymore, I was in shock. The license plate "LCS 3" was visible later on the video (not in the clipped incident section uploaded here). I would love to contact the authorities or the company to report this dangerous behavior. The driver was laughing very hard and making fun of me: he thought the whole thing was funny, and he seemed very out of it (high/drunk/sleep deprived... who knows?). His employer might want to know that. But unfortunately, I don't think authorities will do anything about it, and I feel that it is probably useless to report it. Does UpRide provide assistance or support for reporting incidents? It would be great. Can UpRide at least contact the employer and report a dangerous behavior from their employee? As a woman, I do not feel comfortable doing so by myself (especially considering the driver's behavior towards me).
