A little bit funny?
 
Yesterday on my commute home, in a school zone, on a four-lane road without traffic, a guy passes me within inches of my handlebar. I'm going about 19 mph in a 20 mph school zone and he must have been going about 30. Now here is the part that I found humorous...He is so focused on his rear view mirror (I can see this), looking for a reaction from me, that he runs into the curb. At this point he got a reaction from me, although I don't think it was the one he was hoping for.

Just thought I'd share.

Cool story, bro. No, seriously, that's awesome and hilarious.

Nice.

I had a woman pass me yesterday while blowing her horn the whole time. She passed safely though.

I was in a good mood with a smile on my face. I caught up with her at the light, and rang my bell the entire time I was behind her.

DING DING DING DING DING :)

Did she avoid eye contact?

Good to know the dude driving was speeding through a school zone while not watching in front of him. Thankfully, the only thing he hit was the curb.

D-bags. They're everywhere.

Yes, she did. Bummer. It could have been even more fun.

The only driver contact I've had in the last six months was my buddy from work; he'd ride if his bike wasn't in desperate need of an overhaul....

I was waiting in line at the traffic light the other day, he was one lane over and two cars behind me; as we started through the green, he hollered out his window, "Hey, get off the road, a**hole!" I looked around and saw him smiling at me, so the next day, I walked right up on him and hollered back, "NO!"

It just started the day's hilarity.....

How Poetic! :D:roflmao2: He probably knocked off his front end alignment to boot!:p

This would have been funnier if he had used an AirZound.

The only way this could have gotten better is if there was a cop there to give him a couple of citations.
