When I am involved in situations like this the driver almost justifies their dangerous maneuvers by saying that I don't belong on the road and should get on the sidewalk or bike path. As soon as they say this, ALL hope is lost of having a conversation above a level that an amoeba could understand. Either that or they say 'Sorry! I didn't see you' wven though I'm lit up like a christmas tree, and coverd in reflective film, riding in the middle of the lane when they come up from behind me.

People are just dumb and constantly have moments where they completely lose all form of judgement past 'I need to get home in 7 minutes or I will miss the previous episode montage at the beginning of Lost!'

At least we don't live like 500 years ago when bandits would decend upon our town and steal our rice forcing us to contract a motley band of samurai mercenaries to protect us... that would be way worse than people buzzing you.
