Probably lame, but I get a kick out of holding up my phone as if I'm taking a pic of their plate and just letting their imagination do the rest.

I go modestly ballistic, no cursing, but I roll up to her window and inform her that I was there in line and she had no right to cut me off like that. She does the hand on head ignoring me schtick. I roll back in line, then roll back up to further inform her that I am SUPPOSED to be in the road and that she shouldn't have done that and roll back. Kids are wide eyed looking at me, but ya know, they are old enough to learn that the driver's actions can have consequences.

Ah wth, I have idiots like that cutting me off while I'm driving my suv none the less. Jumping in front of me from parking spaces into the traffic lane, turning in half circle over the two lanes while I'm coming at them with 40 mph. It is no different from the bike, if I ride the bike, they will do it, if I drive my suv, they will also do it - some people tend to be stupid and that's it. So when I'm on my bike, I try to avoid them, and when I'm in my suv, I do not try too hard to avoid them - if I hit them, it will be their fault, and they will pay for the repairs. It's life, just live and move on.
