I have never gotten good results from the Police Dept. However Captain (or is it Lt.) Silverwood has taken an interest in the past. We might want to have a discussion with him.
For now I would take a two pronged approach. 1) On the scene I would take the middle of the street and bike slower and ignore the vehicle driver as if he/she wasn't there. He/she is not going to do anything dangerous with a street full of witnesses. Perhaps next time he/she will not consider this a short cut. The speed limit is 15 mph on State. 2) Note the time, vehicle name & number, telephone number on vehicle and the section the driver was on. Then call his/her employer. After all we are potential customers of the business and this driver is presenting a bad image.
