Years ago a Post Office jeep pulled a right turn on me. 7:00 am; y commute to work. Little traffic. My street was 2-way, 4 lanes. The jeep pulled out of a parking lot to my left as I passes and inot the left lane behind me, then took his right turn form the left lane, boxing me in. I couldn't quite pull the unplanned turn off tightly enough and made it with assist from his front tire nudging my fork. All the while, I basically had my elbow in his face (his window was down and of course, this was a right-side driver Post Office jeep).

I didn't have to say anything. Pretty obvious just how wrong he was and how close he came to making this a bad day for his record.
