Yeah, probably, especially since he lives in my neighborhood, so I am in fact likely to see him again.

I think if our initial encounter on the road had really made me feel threatened, I probably wouldn't have done it. But it wasn't like that -- he stayed back, and when he did pass me, he wasn't really close. His tone when he yelled out the window at me was extremely rude, but not menacing. And he was a sort of old guy. I think I could have taken him. (If he would have gotten out of the truck, that is -- as it was, he literally would not even look at me. )

I think the reason it so torqued me (and judging from what I read, this wasn't even much of an "incident") is that it's been my experience (unlike your more unfortunate ones!) that the drivers in my local area actually are, on the whole, fairly patient and courteous with me. I've been living and riding here for just under 2 years, and even as busy as these roads are, I can count on one hand the number of times that I've inwardly cussed out any motorist. I don't even get all that many "no malice, but sheer stupidity" episodes.
