Sometimes rather than being threatened by cars, you can use those same cars as moving safety barriers. Just because some s#!thead in a car is "unconscious" doesn't mean that I am going to slow down and stay within their "sphere of influence" long enough for them to figure out how to kill me. Sometimes I even leave them a permanent reminder of their "inattentiveness" by elbowing a body panel.......
Thanks, I usually do the same, but as mentioned in my original post, for some reason I didn't listen to my gut. So I posted as a tail of what can happen when you let your better judgement lapse for a moment, even though you are legally in the right.
