I once had a motorist, who was trying to make a right turn, intimidate me in the same manner as DC's while I was stopped in a bike lane waiting on a traffic light.
Agreed, as I said (if they're polite and have their turn signal on) I'll try to accommodate them IF it is safe to do so. A few years back I was headed to an appointment with my massage therapist when I had a gal (a "soccer" mom) come up along side me and politely ask if I could move a little to the left so that she could turn. For her I did, because she was polite about it.

The gal from yesterday given her actions I was not inclined to budge a mm.
