Anyone have a broken handicam they can give me? Sounds like an excellent deterrent if this gets a bunch more air time (which I assume it will). Plus if they take it from me and break it, I might be able to get a free working replacement for you if you're lucky.

A good technique to deal with aggressive drivers is to take out your cell phone with camera and calmly take pictures of there license plates. It usually gets them to be quiet quite quickly.
As well the new habanero flavoured bbq sauce from loblaws, PC brand is really good even if it has enough sodium to give me high blood pressure.

I point right at the plate, and then tap the side of my head...then give them the thumbs up as if to say "thank-you for identifying yourself"

I wonder if Philly has cops that attack cyclists for following the law. I bet they don't. We rule!

Philly cops don't do anything. its awesome. when I was in Florida a few weeks ago, we got pulled over for going to wrong way, running lights and not yielding to peds, and he said, what would a Philly cop do? we said they wouldn't of done anything. he didn't believe us.

I usually point at their license plate too, although on my way home I had to point at the solidly red traffic light. I start riding after waiting at MY red light and this woman in a benz suv comes through the intersection and jams on her brakes/horn. I pointed at her red light and she yelled at me. Awesome.
Reminds me of when I nearly creamed a pedestrian who walked out into traffic and proceeded to tell me to watch where I'm going. Riiiiight.

it makes them feel good about themselves.I've become an advance of the green jumper..... when I see a driver without a hope in hell of getting into the intersection before the yellow runs out, I sly forward blocking them, saying...HEY it's f*&^%n' red!!! Sooo may folks just look sheepish, like a kid caught with a pre-dinner cookie. If the drivers are to take advantage of the 3sec common red, we're gonna have words. That's my go time that gets me in front of the curb lane draggers. hahahahaha I DO love leaving the occasional motorist stranded in the intersection....
