No excuse for what she did. It was stupid, but kids are usually stupid. I don't want to hear any excuses. There is no excuse for trying to kill me or hurt me when I am on my motorcycle.

I get upset with the redneck crackers around here that feel they HAVE to follow too close with their fog/driving lights on. Easiest way to get rid of these a$$holes is to speed up. Between 75 and 80mph they either scare themselves and slow down, or end up in a pond on a tight corner.
I had relatives come through on I-20 back in 1991 and complained because people drove so crazy. I asked how fast they were going and they said 55. I told them, "Hell, we pass you people in the emergency lane."

I have done exactly what she did to a ricer many many years back, but he was close enough that I'm not sure if you could have put another bike between my trunk and his bike. One thing I have thought about is "what if I did get him to hit me?" (Having a conscience is a bitch!) I wont defend her or you but to have your light aimed at my side view mirror would irritate the hell out of me for sure!! If I put myself in a position that I feel the person in front of me may be blinded, I will back off enough so they wont be. And if you are blinding me, I just keep slowing down until you go around. Doing 25 in a 50 kinda pisses people off.
