I can pretty much guarantee if he did this he would suffer repercussions

I did this in Nevada, North Lake Tahoe. Snowy roads, dirty SUV crosses the center line on a two lane on a corner and missed a head on collision by not very much. Threw him a bone, he whipped an unsafe U turn, cutting off the guy behind me. I pulled over quick enough that I had to wait a bit for him. He totally lost it. Made me get out of the car, said I looked like I did drugs, actually looked up my nose with a flashlight. He berated me for about 20 minutes, could not come up with anything to cite me.

If I did not have witnesses in the car, I am absolutely positive I would have gone to jail with a stay in the hospital along the way. I got notarized statements from my 4 passengers, all medical students and included it in the complaint I had my attorney send.

He got a month off work without pay.
