I had a guy pull over, get out of his car, and stand in the middle of the road to stop me once (luckily it didn't turn physical). Pretty sure that wasted more time than slowing down for 10 seconds. Yes, I was in CA when that happened. 9 times out of 10 when people pull a dick move around here they'll have CA plates.
In Toledo Ohio a driver waited by the side of the road til the cyclist rode by...punched him in the face, the cyclist fell and hit his head on the curb, and was killed :-(.
I live in a rural area here, it is nice I can ride 30+ miles at 8-10am and maybe share the road with a total of four cars the whole ride :-).
