Do you protect bikers when you're driving in a cage?

Recently a guy tried to whip around me, when I was stopping to let a couple bikes out, so I cut him off, he was mega pissed!! LMAO, luckilly he just sat in his car bitching and gesturing after laying on his horn. (don't know if it was lucky for me or him) But the brothers were safe, and no one was hurt, so all's cool.

Do you protect bikers when you're driving in a cage?
The other day I'm driving along on the highway in the family Windstar and I see a cage tail-gaiting a biker in the center lane. I eventually made a lane change in between them with my van and then slowed down. The cage got frustrated and went into the left lane and took off ahead of us.
When I see a bike on the road and I'm in a cage, I'm always looking out for the bikers on the road with respect to how the other cagers are driving around them. Does anyone else feel this need while driving in a cage?

Always...the thought that goes through my mind when I do is "don't worry brother, I've got your back".

Yeah, I do.
I wonder sometimes when I'm on the bike, though, if I'm being "protected" by someone that's not very good at it. Ocassionally a car or cars will just sort of hover around me. I speed up, they speed up. I slow down, they slow down. I had a couple of cars doing that to me on Friday night. They were all over me. It really freaks me out. When I'm protecting a bike in my car I still stay far enough away that they probably never realize I'm there.
