10 Wheels, Number400. Thanks for reading and replying. I'll passively search around for the guy and keep my eyes peeled, I think it's best to hold off from personal confrontation.

10 Wheels. Jeeze dude. No, I feel sad, frightened and terrible inside and out about all of this. It was a terrifying sensation being tailgated by this car. I've never seen a car this close to me while riding this fast on a bicycle, the whole thing was a frightening experience for my perceptions. I mean.. I really could have reached back and rested my palm on his hood. It's much different than pedaling along a flat road in the low 20mph's and exchanging water bottles with someone in a car. If not for the trailer he was towing, I could have nailed the brakes for a split second and tucked back in behind him. My brain was saying this car couldn't possibly be there/ didn't belong there, it was too close to be real. But my eyes were seeing it. It was a bizarre feeling, mentally.
Slowing down obviously wasn't an option, if there was a spot to pull off I probably would have tried at that point, speeding up didn't make a whole lotta sense, and allowing the situation to continue without any reaction at all wasn't safe or acceptable. I really believed he was going to hit my rear tire. I don't know why he decided to hit from the side instead. Of course I'm thankful he knocked me off the road instead of running me over and making me part of it. Frantically trying to wave the guy past me with my hand and middle finger were pretty decent reactions man.
