Today's commute was warm, the first 80 degree day of the year. A big change compared to February when I first started. This morning was perfect, no headwinds and zero traffic issues. This afternoon however was a nightmare; I was riding through a small town I always ride through at about 16 mph when I was going around what seemed like an ordinary parked car. By the time I reach the rear passenger door this car decided to turn into the lane barely missing me, causing me to swerve into the opposite lane. Thankfully there was no other traffic coming. I ended up catching up to this car at the last traffic signal in town, I pulled up beside the car to confront the driver only to be completely ignored. Tapping on the window to get her attention resulted in honking and inching forward while steering left into me. The next thing I know there's a county police car pulling up behind us, so I proceeded to explain the situation, hell he even saw the driver trying to run me over at the red light. 15 minutes later, he lets the woman drive off and writes up an appearance citation for public harassment or something along those lines and "reckless driving".
Lesson learned: If there's no damage to me or the bike, don't confront reckless drivers.
