** The definition of a " vehicle " does not include a bicycle - as * I
stated * in my original post.
See the words " ... or with a person or object " in relation to the
"impact involving a vehicle" - or IOW the target of predatory behaviour.
So, predatory driving involving only a person as the target and no vehicle
is also included.
PLUS included is the case where an " object" is the target of the predatory
behaviour - so long as there is intent to thereby to injure a person.
