Excerpted from THE BLAZE: A 75-year-old Colorado man has learned that hard way that excessive honking will not be tolerated in the state. Especially when you use your horn to harass a pack of cyclists.
Dir Friel and some friends were riding along a rural road on Sunday in Boulder County when James Ernst pulled behind them in an SUV. Friel and his cadre went single-file and tried to wave the man around. But Ernst wasn’t having it. Angry, he tailed the group for five minutes, honking his horn incessantly.
“In our case, we weren’t holding up traffic. There was plenty of room to go around, and this weird guy behind us just kept honking his horn for 5 minutes,” Friel told the local NBC station. “We were single file, waiving him by. Finally, you’re like this is insane. I have to get this on film.”
Frield whipped out his phone and took video. He eventually posted it on YouTube, and it went viral.
