Last week, a truck passed me on the right, in a temporary turn lane. Of course, 1/4 mile later, traffic jammed up at a red light. So instead of ignoring him, I split the lane, passed, and threw the bike into the small space between him and the car in front. This was a dangerous move itself, but then I realized.... I'm stuck in front of a crazy? person, who I basically "flipped off".
If his foot "slipped" off the brake, I could have a mashed bike, broken legs, etc, not to mention that it is legal to carry a loaded pistol here, and most people do.
Guess I need to work on anger management!
