Just pull over and let him by, then forget about it. I never stress about driving anymore, it's just not worth it. You end up getting your blood pressure up, steaming mad, venting on the net (lol). Then it bugs you for months. When I come across a situation, I back down they pass and I immediately forget about it. Then continue living a happy life.

Agreed that is the best course of action... Us vs. pretty much any other motorized vehicle on the road results in us losing - it's not worth it.

I got an Arizona Fruit Punch can lobbed at me from a road rage bitch...the weave on her head was disgusting enough, but this fat, toothless **** actually tried to run me into the jersey barrier after throwing a can at me.

anyway, i feel you, people suck. a 26" expandable baton allows you to reach out and remind people...just saying

Probably late for a high stakes bingo match. Smart move letting them by. Old people got nothing to lose.

And the to top it off, when I made a right hand turn he actually tried to move in between me and the curve. I went about 50 yard and pulled over to let him pass. It turned out to be a old man and women prob late 70's. they had Pennsylvania plates on there Newer black Cadillac, Not that it really matters. It pissed me off! I know I shouldn't let it. A ball pin hammer would have come in handy! But I let it go... I'm glad I did.

Good job. BTW, what do you wear to/from gym while riding? Hopefully not shorts and a tank top.

Old farts tailgating. No shock there.

I had some in a cage behind me on a two lane road. I was getting ready to turn left, with my signal on and he was still on my butt. So with my left hand, I pointed to my flashing LED turn signal. He finally went around.
