Hey, that's my line!

Seriously though, happened to me this morning. I was coming around a slight bend to the left. I cut the corner some because just up ahead near a stop sign are cars parked on the right. A Honda Fit came so close to me I could open his door by just reaching over . I yelled out "A little more room please!". The Fit driver was none too pleased. He pulls over to the side, and as I ride by he yells, "Why don't you ride where you belong, d***head!" My response was, "I am right where I belong, buddy!" and "Have a good day!" and smile and wave.

Really, you can't find room to pass a bike with a Honda Fit?

In another serious vein, what others have posted above is correct. I've been assaulted once and in another instance stalked from behind when I decided to argue with the drivers. You have to let it go, or be prepared for defending yourself from cagers who will never see it the way we do.
