"they get enrage for having to be delayed by 10 seconds, how small minded"
That's an interesting view of it. Then there's also the fact that if they're having to come that close to you, you might not be riding responsibly. And are you going the speed limit for the roads you're riding? If it's not a neighborhood, and there isn't adequate room for you to ride without impeding traffic, on the road that was built for cars (might even be illegal for you to ride depending on the road), I think they would have every right to be a little upset at you tooling down the narrow high speed road on your 10mph bike. Especially considering if you accidentally do something when you're destracted or blow a tire, they could end up in prison for life for hitting you even if it's your fault (sorry, save that tirade for another time).
Just make sure you're being safe and considering everything. Even if they are in the wrong, and they're the ones wrongfully endangering you, you'll loose the fight against the speeding car every time, and you could end up with more than some scrapes and bruises. That's not a thread any of us want to read about.
I was saying that 10 seconds thing because i used to be like screw anybody who delays me now i try to have patience. Im speaking about how they dont have any patience, me on a bike or in a car i still see the same stupidity. I have the most problems a half mile from my house and its a four lane highway. I understand 3000 vs 200, im never going to win. You cannot avoid these crazy people when you have only one way to get somewhere and when im in the gutter or right on the side of the asphalt. Theres plenty of room just they wont spare any. but anyway, i appreciate what you are saying and def hear it. Im glad to hear your concern and im learning more and more everytime i ride and hear possitive critisism on this forum.
