Anyway I know that saying anything will only provoke a confrontation. So i say nothing.
Have any of you ever considered that just maybe you are wrong and that the motorist has a point?
And again, yes, I've been on the receiving end of jerk motorist comments, and rants as much as anyone here. But every once in awhile, I have to admit, I had it coming.
If you are wrong, you got nothing to say. I think most of us ADULTS should know if we are in the right or in the wrong and be smart enough to be sheepishly humble when we screw up and cause someone else heartburn. But to your point, a LOT of PEOPLE - including cyclists - don't think the rules of the road apply to them and get mouthy if someone points it out.
