There are plenty of documented cases of motorists pushing and shoving cyclists with their vehicles. Let me know how that control thing works out for you when you meet a motorist that also wants to "control the lane."

Genec,

I know that you're being somewhat humorous with your response, but just yesterday I was controlling the lane with a city bus behind me and never felt that I was in any danger or anything from the bus behind me. And it worked out fine.
