I just ignore the bad drivers as much as possible.

I have thought it would be good to photograph the ones that pass cars coming towards me... that is hair raising.
The guy in the truck was stopped you knew he was up to no good . I would have been ready to lay the bike down and go defensive mode .
Last guy that tried to knock me off a bike pick the wrong time to do it . We have just lost our son in a car accident 3 weeks earlier and I had an argument with my wife. I got an my bike and rode I don't know if he was trying to steal the bike or what . I do know he smelled of alcohol It wasn't the right way to handle it . Considering the timing and my state of mind at the time it could have been worse. When I was young I would look for a reason to hit some one. now I try to be reasonable but am not above speaking my mind if some one is put in danger .
