Run off the road on the way in by a pickup. Guess my taillight, white helmet, reflectives, hi viz jacket etc, where not conspicuous enough. I was just right of center in ther right hand lane of two each way. Obviously he had to move over to graze me, wish he would have moved over to the open left lane. Caught up at the stoplight and bounced my bottle off the truck and started yelling to get the driver's attention. Probably was a good thing that he had his door locked (I checked)because I was gonna pull him out of there and I had no intention of playing nice. This guy almost creamed me. I usually love the Sunday commute. I have a huge purple bruise on my thigh from my frame hitting my leg when I threw myself over so that the truck's mirror would miss me. Seems a lot of the worst drivers around here take off their license plates when the have a temporary registration sticker. Now I know why. It makes them harder to identify. Ride home was nice.
