Last year, a cyclist in Toronto got into a confrontation with a cabbie over who had the right to occupy a lane. After yelling obscenities at each other, the cabbie rubbed the cyclist into a power pole with the vehicle. The cyclist ended up losing a leg. There were witnesses so the cabbie would have been caught anyway but he speeded up the process by going to the police to make a complaint against the cyclist for assault & damaging the cab

I always try to come up with something funny to say, but I almost never think of anything.
I hate to say it, but I think the pattern held in this case.

I agree completely. I think my behavior was fueled by a huge rush of adrenaline and I'm not sure that anything would change in spite of knowing that it's not really a good thing........in fact I'm usually on edge when commuting, particularly at night in traffic.

Yes, I should have specified that the truck took the left lane from his perspective, which was right where I was. I have been walking by his house everyday now just to piss him off.
