Don't reward the jerks. Sometimes the best response is none at all.
I disagree - I think the Hummer driver looked right past miss kenton without seeing her (because she wasn't looking for a bicycle). I have a terrible habit in similar situations of yelling at drivers to "wake up - you're piloting two tons of steel" or "I'm glad ONE of us was paying attention." I am trying to break myself of the habit of the single finger salute, or of dropping F bombs.
