I had words with a driver who tried to use my bike lane to pass a long line of traffic on the right. On the one hand, I wish I had just let it go rather than letting myself carry on an argument with self-centered jerk. I probably could have just trackstanded ("trackstood"?) in front of the car long enough to make the point that using the bikelane isn't any faster and not directly confronted her.

But, on the other hand, this person's actions were stupid, selfish, illegal, and dangerous. And I called her on it. I think her anger and irrationality weren't about my blocking her way, as much as embarrassing her in front of a long line of slow moving traffic.

Still, I'm lucky that she didn't pull out a gun or just stomp on the accelerator and kill me with her car. (I must really do something about this stubbornness; one day it's going to get me killed.
