What a stupid prat! If he knew he was taking a risk by riding
closely in a group, then why the bloody hell does he think he can sue
anyone?

Liars touting for business can be very persuasive. It doesn't start

from a first drink and a chat, with sympathetic words about how
insewerants companies rip everyone off and should be taught a lesson.
