Position Yourself Better
I'm not trying to be a wise *** - but - this incident was MOSTLY your fault. When stopped at an intersection YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE TO BE POSITIONED AGGRESSIVELY IN YOUR LANE TO "CLAIM YOUR TURF"! If you don't give the *** wipes a chance to move in on you, for the most part they won't. I had exactly the same thing happen to me a few years ago. Some lady pulled up along side me to ask for directions. I rode off but the cop behind her pulled her over. Non riders are oblivious!

Was at Bike Week in Myrle Beach and traffic was bad. Was at a traffic light in the left turn lane and a woman was going straight, the turn lane was backed up so I was still partially in the straigt lane. She tried to squeeze thru and was about 2 inches from my foot. Wanted to kick her door in but my wife calmed me down, she has a cooler head than me and keeps me out of trouble. The older I get the shorter the fuse, I need help!! I keep telling myself that I'm getting smarter and everyone else is getting dumber, don't know if it's true or not, but it makes me feel better.

I know a guy (I swear it's not me) who wouldn't hesitate punching out the cars' driver side mirror in cases like this. Needless to say, I don't ride with this guy anymore, but it was ****ing funny to watch! I do not condone the destruction of others' property... Unless it's usefull as a reminder of who they could have killed.

If you want to find out how stupid motorist are just ride a motorcycle. Don't ya just love riding down the interstate at 75mph and some dipshit slowly pulls up on you on the passing lane and as soon as the clear your front wheel they pull over into your lane even though there is no car within a mile in front of you. It's usually a woman on a cell phone.
It all comes with riding a motorcycle. Get use to it.

Had someone do that to me at 65 on the I5 south of LA, just plain pulled up right beside me. "What the &$*& are you doing" i said to her. She gives me a wtf face, flips me the bird and rolls the window up and stays there, like 12" of my right elbow
