Must have been "confront the idiot driver" day. On my route there's a stretch of really-poorly-designed road, and sure enough it's where the majority of my confrontations/buzzes/problems occur. There's a concrete median there where a right lane bcomes a RTOL lane, and then the RTOL ends. I take the entire right lane until the lane turns into the RTOL, then I check shoulder and merge when I can (I signal the merge).

Usual routine this morning, I saw a moving truck well back of me and in the left lane, so I signalled and merged. Suddenly I heard the truck's engine race, then the sound of squealing brakes and the truck was right on my tail. The truck passed me (even though there was no room because of the median), and his mirror missed my helmet by less than a foot.

I caught him at the next light, tapped on the passenger window, and gestured for him to give me more room next time. He started screaming and unbuckling his seat belt to come after me (we're at a left turn light with cars behind him; moron). The light changed, I pulled away, and he went on.
