So if that happens, back up, go around the other side of them b/c they've also usually pulled ahead and now can't move thier vehicle in any direction whatsover. And don't forget, always give them a friendly wave and a smile as you go by.
That happened to me yesterday. I was cruising along right in the middle of the lane when some lady looks right at my, pulls out RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME and runs a stop sign so I can't get along side of her and interrupt her cell phone call. She realized what she did (damn near hit me) and didn't want to talk about it...lol I made sure she knew she was number one in my book...
When it comes to stopped traffic, I just wait and feel it out. I PREFER riding in stopped traffic over anything else because, more or less, I know where the cars are all going...no where...then I just ride around/through/over them. You just gotta do what ever makes you feel safest.
