Last month I was headed home from work on Lankershim in North Hollywood. There is a spot south of Victory where the road is so bad you can't ride it so you have to be in the left lane. There was an SUV that was driving like an ******* so I couldn't get over. He start honking which means I slow way down so he has to go around me. Instead of going around me he gets as close as he can and swerves over. He drives beside me long enough to tell me why he believed all cyclist should die and to threaten me. He cuts over again and I got pinched between him and the curb, only reason he didn't get me was because he hit a red light and I ran it to get away from him.
I got way ahead of him after that light and didn't even know if he was still on the road...but a few blocks later he catches up and swerves at me while going super fast. I cut over next to the parked cars and stopped in the road and let him go by. He had dealer plates so there was nothing I could do...
So apparently being threatened by drivers isn't something that uncommon.
