I got royally hassled for biking vehicularly in Daly City, CA (a suburb of San Francisco). I had merged left to turn left and he pulled up next to me, demanded that I "pull over to the right" even though there were cars barrelling past at 35mph. I told him, "No, I'll stop here if you'd like to talk- pulling to the right would not be safe." He yelled, "YOU KNOW BICYCLES ARE SUPPOSED TO ALWAYS KEEP RIGHT!!!", and I said, "Oh, even when we're turning left? The California DMV Driver's Guide has some pretty clear rules about how bikes can use the road, and I was following them".

Red in the face, he blared, "KEEP RIGHT, GODDAMNIT, YOU HEAR ME?! I SHOULD JUST WRITE YOU A TICKET OUT RIGHT NOW." To which I remarkably calmly replied, "Do you really feel like dealing with all of the court paperwork? I know my rights. I'd be glad to fight it via written declaration,".

One more, "KEEP RIGHT, OR ELSE!" and he sped off.

F*#@%'in A.. I wouldn't have been so incensed about it if he hadn't almost knocked me off my bike while trying to get me to pull over.. He seemed like a frustrated guy in his 50s that'd been waiting with bated breath to scream at somebody that day. Blah.
