Nice work!

Anyone that would show aggression towards a vulnerable rider deserves the worst prison ass-pounding the criminal justice system can administer. Those that simply "don't see you" 'cause they're busy tuning their DVD player or talking to their buddy on the mobile phone while piloting their land barge aren't that close behind.

I had something like this happen a couple months ago as I was heading along on a relatively untrafficked two-lanes-each-way boulevard in Marina Del Rey. One guy in some kind of white SUV thing (dunno the kind, they all look the same to me anyway) makes a right onto the street about 1/2 block in front of me - I'm in the left lane. Since he's accelerating and I'm already crusing along at normal speed, I overtake him right as he decides to whip it into the left lane about as I'm even with his driver's side window. NO reason for this manuver. No traffic around, nothing in his lane in front of him that he feels the need to avoid, nothing. He was on the phone. Burst of adrenaline kicks in, swerve slightly across the double-yellow solid line (thankfully no semi trucks coming the other way), downshift and hammer it. As I escape I see in my rearview mirror that the guy hasn't even been phased. No change of expression, no "oh ****, I'm so sorry man" courtesy wave, nothing. I drift right, let him overtake on my left now (watching carefully) and place a nice size 11 steel-toed boot dent right squarely into his passenger side door, then turn off down a side street. I can't say I feel guilty for it either. If there had been a stop light I swear I'd have probably gotten off, dragged his ass out through his driver's side window and jammed that phone up his sphincter sideways. I normally don't lose my cool when riding/driving, but that was just TOO much.

Anyway, good show taking an even worse example of "pee in the gene pool" off the streets. . . At least mine was inadvertant (at least I think so) - yours was deliberate. If you're ever out here, I'll buy you a beer just for that.

Ride safely.
