Yee ha! I like that one. Honestly though, either of them likely would have hit me to get me out of their way. I looked up in my little bike booklet and read that Honda mom broke several sections of NRS 484.324
1. "The driver of a motor vehicle shall not:

A. Intentionally interfere with the movement of a person lawfully riding a bicycle: or

B. Overtake and pass a person on a bicycle unless he can do so safely without endangering the person riding the bicycle.

4. The driver of a motor vehicle shall: (certainly did NOT do this)

A. Exercise due care to avoid a collision with a person riding a bicycle: and

B. Give an audible warning with the horn of the vehicle if appropriate when necessary to avoid such a collision.

(gotta get me an AirZound!)
Reading that made me feel better about filing a police report. I initially thought yeah, but then I thought I was just nervous
and it was a case of typical stupid driving tricks and, if she'd done what she did to me rolling up to a light but I was in a car or motorcycle, I'd have just chalked it up to idiot driver. Clearly, she could be busted for those sections.

Gotta look for a helmet cam now....
