I therefore kept my momentum to go thru the intersection. He then, suddenly and most abruptly, decides to speed up from behind and turn right, directly in front of me, cutting me off. If I hadn't immediately braked at that very millisecond, there's no doubt that I would have crashed into his new Jetta. I then reflexively gave him the finger with a few spiced words to match. He then yelled in response! As I was furiously explaining how much of an idiot move that was, cutting me off and all, this guy villainously smiles and just reaches into his console. He then pulls out some type of shiny chrome plated semi-automatic weapon and waves it upwards, inside of his car.

I then immediately began to maneuver out of his eyesight, by getting upon the curb and ducking behind cars as I pedaled down the sidewalk.

I've had many more confrontations prior to that one. However, those encounters were very brief and only ended up with just a few heated words exchanged and that was it!

So I began to think...

Anyone of those prior exchanges could have potentially ended very badly for me. I've since, stop interacting with erratic drivers in anyway!
