Dear Lowes,

Maybe you should teach your delivery truck drivers some driver etiquette. We were nearly run off the road by one of your trucks (NYS Plate # 76969JX) on Route 441 in Penfield, NY. We were not in the lane, we were on the white line as there wasn’t ample shoulder on the road to be to the right of the white line. This guy blew his air horn twice as he was next to us and was going faster than the posted speed limit of 45mph. It just about gave us a heart attack.

When we caught up with the guy at the light and ask him what his problem was he told us to stop be so F@CKING dumb and sped off.  Again the NYS Plate # was 76969JX.

From the League of American Bicyclists:

Sharing the Road: Motorists

Drive Cautiously:
> Reduce speed when encountering cyclists
> Don’t tailgate, especially in bad weather
> Recognize hazards cyclists may face and give them space

Yield to Cyclists:
> Bicycles are considered vehicles
> Cyclists should be given the appropriate right of way
> Allow extra time for cyclists to traverse intersections

Be Considerate:
> Scan for cyclists in traffic and at intersections
> Do not blast your horn in close proximity to cyclists
> Look for cyclists when opening doors

Pass with Care:
> When passing, leave four feet between you and a cyclist
> Wait for safe road and traffic conditions before you pass
> Check over your shoulder before moving back

Watch for Children:
> Children on bicycles are often unpredictable
> Expect the unexpected and slow down
> Don’t expect children to know traffic laws
> Because of their size children can be harder to see

UPDATE: Tyler received a call yesterday evening from the Manager of the Macedon Lowes (George) apologizing for his employee’s actions on the road. We’d like to thank George for his concern and promptness in which the situation was addressed.
