It's a loosing battle. I was out for a ride on Thursday, guy in a truck buzzes me...around 1, may 2ft of space at most. No cars coming from the opposite direction so I sit up and give the hands out to the side "what's up with that" look. Truck stops in the middle of the road so I pull up beside the guy and politely just advise him out the 4' passing law. Guy just looks at me and speeds off flipping me the bird on his way. Seriously, there are just too many idiots out there to expect anything different.


Hell, today I approaching an intersection in the middle of nowhere - I have the right away two trucks approaching from the left with a stop sign. 1st truck rolls thru as expected, but the 2nd truck should stop and does. As I start rolling thru the intersection, the driver has her face in her phone and pulls out thru the intersection just missing hitting my rear wheel by inches. Once again I give the "what's up with that" look back to the driver......she flips me off and drives away.

So........this weeks tally in 4 days was to be almost run over twice by two drivers who were completely at fault and the know enough about their wrong deeds to flip me off - nice!

I've quit yelling and arguing at drivers because it just raises my blood pressure and not once has a driver learned a thing from it or acknowledge they were in the wrong. Not once!
