Wow - smacks of another incident that happened to me...I was travelling up an undivided street (i.e. no lane markings) to the right and as I was passing some parking on my right an oncoming truck started turning from the left to get into one of the spaces next to me. He sees me, comes to a sudden stop (gut wrenching moment that he was going to t-bone me; no he didn't signal and there was no indication he was going to turn). He then flips me off. !! I say, "I have the right of way!" He yells back, snottily, "No you don't...!" just like a snotty little kid. I ride way and say, "Oncoming traffic...duh!" Sadly he likely didn't get the point.
This was just after an encounter with lady who was blocking my lane of travel on another street and didn't want to put her car into reverse (you know how hard that is) so I could get by. I won that battle and she immediately ran a red light afterwards. You know, 'cause it's all my fault.
