Went out for a ride on Saturday, and on the last leg of my trip, there was a Honda CR-V that honked at me for daring to take up a foot and a half of pavement on the far right of the road. There was traffic coming the other way, and darned if I wasn't being encouraged to take my bike with its road slicks off into the gravel, weeds, and mud just so the apparent VIP in the little flip-meister could scramble to the soccer game just thirty seconds faster. (No, there's no shoulder on that road.)
Consequently, when they went eventually passed me, engine whining towards redline, flying past me with a finger extended... karmic retribution struck. They had to stop at the next light, and I politely rolled up beside them, gave a beatific smile, and waved before proceeding to beat their little four-banger across the intersection to make them wait again.
Yeah, I've had the occasional run in with the irate motorist. Usually I invite them to step out of the car and discuss their problems face-to-face. No takers yet though.
