Knock three times, and tell me that you love me…

Well, maybe not the ‘love me part’. But knocking is certainly an effective way to get a drivers attention. I figure, if they are close enough for me to knock, then that may be just too close. A sustained knock is best, if possible. Knock, knock, knock, knock, etc… Then, depending upon the manner of the driver (aggressive or startled ‘wtf’) I either holler at the top of me lungs or try to explain what they are doing wrong. If the driver is aggressive, I’m aggressive. If the driver seems truly startled and bewildered, I do my best to educate them.

As another poster wrote, We pay for the maintenance on these roads (through taxes), and under most provincial laws/state laws we have the same rights of use. State your case!

Thankfully, I have not had to yet employ the ‘rap, rap, rapping at my door’ treatment to a driver yet. But, I do have a high ‘buzzing’ tolerant. If they are at least a foot away from my bars, I’m fine with that. Of course, and I hate to perpetuate the stereotype, it does seem more common in large SUV drivers that they don’t recognize the size of vehicle they are driving.

But, to return the original posters quandary…Don’t sweat swearing within ear-shot of an infant or older. They will learn the ‘swear’ words sooner or later. I know I did.
