Revenge is a dish best served cold. Usually around 2 a.m.

Perspective. They are each "oncoming" to the other. They can't both have the right-of-way.

The car that must yield is the car that will be entering the other car's path. If I was going straight, then they should have yielded. That means that I have the right of way, even if I'm making a right hand turn.

Yeah thats what I thought, if you are making a right turn you have the right away over a left turn when going on a continuous street.

I know this kind of thing makes everyone angry, especially the person involved. But the thing is, these types of incidents happen so often for me that they just don't bother me anymore. As long as I am not hit or don't go down, I don't worry about it. It's sad, but true. And I'm sure the people in the car were thinking something like: "Ha-ha. I beat the bike through the turn. He is slow..." Yes, people think this way.

If I let something like this bother me, I would have to post something everyday. Just ride safe and enjoy your rides.

That's why you are a "hunter" on the saddle. Being alerted and ready for possible incoming douchebags and ****** drivers. I always make the first move in aggressive driving when it comes to douchebags trying to scare or cut me off. By passing them real hard and break certain road laws in order to get away.

One time, four teenager faggot boys in mini cooper on incoming side tried to scare me and crash by driving in my lane, laughing thinking its funny to be in my lane but what'd I do? prepare myself for the crash by ditching the brand new bike before impact, and accelerate so that I can get huge lawsuit money for faggots driving towards me in my lane. But they jerked right back in their lane in no less than 40 ft and stared at me if im crazy for being suicidal.

People like that need to be hit with a hammer at 75 mph.

Sounds very similar to a side street that leads to my neighborhood! The thing is, if I were the driver I would not have done that. I'm always fearful of cutting anyone off around my neighborhood because chances are they know where I live. I don't want anyone vandalizing my house. The driver was a jerk X10.

Because of the many careless drivers out on the roads, I now ride with a GoPro camera mounted on my helmet. It makes a Great witness(records what happened and car/license plate info)!!
If drivers give me the one finger salute, I simply point to the camera on my helmet and that shuts them up.
I highly recondmend it to anyone who ask about it!!
