Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Not intimidated, just exercising sober judgment. I'm 47 years old, and have learned that sometimes judgment trumps ROW. I'd ride it slowly and safely, and assert my rights in a safer location. I have no problems riding in traffic and do long distance bike touring. I just reserve my fighting for situations where my risk of death is a bit less......intense! I'm going to guess you're somewhere between 17 and 25? I may be wrong of course, but that's my guess. When you're young and still feel bulletproof, you're willing to accept more risk than after you find out you ain't! I heal up slower and am less inclined to take risks I judge to be unreasonable.
