Not the best one, because you might have to make good on the promise at some point, and you'd probably do more jail time for nixing a paint job than the driver would for killing you. I wish there was a law where I lived about drivers having to remain so many feet away from my bike when passing. I've come close to making intimate contact with many a car mirror. VC is the best thing for this problem. Taking that lane makes the driver actually have to commit to going into another lane rather than playing "squeeze the cyclist."
Those were her exact words. Yes, the thought of jail time was the only thing that kept me from reaching through the driver's side window and choking her out.
