Conditions: Empty, straight road, clear and sunny, 85 degrees.
Me: southbound on Doswell Rd. on red road bike, doing about 17 mph, 30 miles into a 40 mile ride, about 18" from the shoulder.
You: 20-something male, northbound on Doswell Rd., doing about 60 mph (in a 45 zone) in a POS Nissan Sentra with your buddy in the passenger seat. Honked once, crossed the center line, honked again, and veered toward me in my lane. I hope you saw that I did not deviate from my line despite your lame, pointless attempt to intimidate me with your 3000 lb. gas-fueled weapon. I don't know if those kinds of stunts make you feel cool, or are just for the amusement of your buddies in the car. I've noticed that solo drivers almost never do stuff like this. Next time you should slow down or stop instead of speeding off like a ******bag. I'd like to introduce your headlights to my frame pump.
