The Law
On a slightly more serious tone.
If you are in CA, as per your icon, then you were a pedestrian ( whilst gliding on your Segway PT / EPAMD ) when you were attacked, assaulted or however you wish to describe the incident. Heres the detail. http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d01/vc313.htm http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d01/vc467.htm I hope these links work. Michael |

Congratulations! You handled it beautifully. What a jerk that person was, who knows what he would have done, but you got away safe.

Herbie's Middle Name is Ivanhoe
"I'm sure there's a really good pun in there about it being a battery but I can't quite see it... Are we are going to have to glide with medieval lances soon?"
Will jousting replace polo?

You should take detailed photos of the mark on your segway. If the mark is on the side of the wheel, it clearly indicates that he hit you, and not the other way around.
If he counter claims that you hit him, it may be important.

I seriously doubt this guy knows that the internet is for anything more than porn or MySpace, and would be thusly compelled to report their misdeeds to the police. Police that probably have dealt with them before.

I'm not one for violence but under the circumstances, I think you did the right thing. Just wish you'd given him a clout from me!
I think I remember reading that someone on here had some smart ars* roll their board out in front of them whilst gliding and amazingly the board broke under the wheel and the glider carried on. That's 2 for gliding and 0 for the boarders!!

On some level I feel left out...
I do not recall a single time in the last 4 years when I regretted not having a stund gun with me. Never had the need. I have been the victim of exactly 0 assults with battery. I have been gliding within proximity of some outdoor bars or other places where foolish drunks hung out, but each and every attempted assault (Verbal) has resulted in the would be attacker being laughed at by me and often by their own peers, after my wit sliced them up a bit. I have heard, in the distance, a rare explitive or insult hurled at me, but less than I used to hear when I used to bike on the streets more... Surely not more per hour on the road than I have ever gotten in the past. I have had absoulutly no opportunities to beat anyone up, or to avoid being beaten up, while gliding... What am I doing wrong? One time, I stopped in front of a McDonnalds and several youths crowded around to ask about the seg. One kid took his finger and spun the spinner hubcap on my wheel. I gave him the stern voice, and asked if thought it was right to be touching another persons ride. And then asked what would happen if some one did that to his own stuff, or his father's car... He not only got the message, but the laughter (not in a good way) of his peers. I really have had many a great experience, and an extreamly few bad ones. I seem to miss much of this excitement... Poor me...

Karl,
You aren't alone. I glide everywhere... ...To the coffee shop for my morning meetings (almost daily) ...To my daily meetings (daily) ...To the bar for my evening meetings (on average twice weekly) ...To the grocery store ...To and fro Yes, the odd person will try to get on the Segway and yes, I've had to raise my voice once or twice, but never have I felt that I or the Segway were in danger in any way. There was that one instance where I let the CS "roll over" and bop a kid in the head but he (and his inattentive father) deserved it. Steven |
