I had something similar happen this past Wednesday coming down the interstate from the dealer. The interstate goes from 3 lanes to 2 lanes and is very heavily marked with signs and road markings. The outside lane had several semi's and I was in the middle lane behind a SUV running about 80. The left lane is the one that ends and all of a sudden out of nowhere this woman in a BMW is directly beside me riding the rumble strips because her lane has ended. There was no one right behind me and she could have pulled in behind me but instead tried to go around me. I laid on the horn and she hit the brakes sliding all down through the grassy median with dust flying up everywhere. The look on her face was priceless and I proceeded to tell her that she was number 1. When I looked back she had completely stopped in the median and was having to wait on a long line of cars to get back on the road. Maybe next time she will think twice before try to run over a bike.
There are also a lot of bikers "packing". I have had my CCW since 1996 and carry just about all the time. In NC pulling a firearm on some one is considered deadly force and deadly force can only be used against deadly force. Some one in your window yelling about your stupidity is not deadly force so if the cager pulls a firearm on you, then you have just experienced deadly force and can respond accordingly.
A couple of weeks ago I had a guy on a cell phone nearly plow into me while I was stopped for a car turning right. He got stopped maybe 1" from my bumper. At the next light I got up beside him and proceeded to tell him that if he had his cell phone shoved up his *** he could probably drive better and pay attention.

"Legally" you were 100% right. BUT you VERY EASILY could have been DEAD RIGHT!!
I yield the 'right of way' EVEN when I HAVE IT!!!
NOW, NOT TO SAY I am above the 'fray'.
Riding down to do a job estimate last week, with a buds. We were on Central, rolling into the Cities. Some 'hose bag' is racing up behind us, right turn signal on. Last second, she jumps into the left lane. We are slowing for a red light (TRAFFIC light, you pervs!!
DAMMT bikers!!! )
She is yakkin' on the cell. Her window is down a couple of inches, so I leaned over a bit, "Ma'am, you're right turn signal is on"
She gives me the "F" YOU look.
So I repeated, MUCH LOUDER this time, "YOU"RE TURN SIGNAL IS ON!"
She flips me off, light turns green, she hauls azz. Well, we get to the next light, turn signal is STILL on, she is STILL on the cell.
Can you say BACKY JOOS thru the window??? (Been chewin' since I was 13, I can hit a fly at 20 paces, THRU a window screen.)
Guy in pick up behind her, toots, and is laffin' his azz off. He was behind her at the last lite, too. He gives me the BIG thumbs up, as he rolled on past.
YES, it was a 'gamble' BUT I was pretty sure, she was NOT chatting with a LEO.
I normally give them a WAY WIDE berth, but this NEWBIPSH!T chose to flip me off, rather than shut her turn signal off. I just didn't want her driving like that, and someone else thinkin' IT'S REAL.
NOTE to Members - DO NOT FLIP OFF THE OL' CURMUDGEON on the chopper. He becomes rather anti-social. Peshally when YOU are being a NEWBIPSH!T !!!

I don't want to encourage your type of response, but I do applaud you! This was not an incident involving an "inattentive cager"... this guy knew exactly what he was doing and thought that he could get away with it. Having said that, we still need to be able to shake it off so that we can ride again tomorrow.
