Hi,

There is a + intersection in front of my home and i was as usual returning from work(i was riding at around 5mph). When i was near the intersection, a motorcyclist with his father on the back seat and his child on the petrol tank(this is how they ride here in India!) overtook me and took a cut to the left . I was off balance but recovered due to the slow speed. I stopped him there and asked him if he was familiar with the road rules and that was the starter for him. He addressed me as a filthy 6@$T@rd, an @$$hole cyclist and that being a cyclist means a lowlife on the roads. He went on to assert that he was kind enuff in seeing that i was not knocked down. All these abuses were thrown infront of his 60+ aged father who kept urging him to move ahead and pay no heed to events like these. His child without doubt was enjoying the whole thing and was proud to see his father stunning his oponent . I dunno what that child's gonna be when he grows up, but i was so shocked by his father's behaviour to the point that i was unable to bring an argument worthy enuff to counter his aggressiveness(i have his reg no.).
I have a question, how do you deal with these type of guys? how can i make them understand, that they too are responsible for creating better safe traffic conditions?
regards
