I was riding home on 25mph residential streets, making a right turn. A pickup turned left into the same street I went into. He was behind me.
Then, I hand-signaled a left turn, and was starting to lean into it. I heard the **s**le floor it, and passed me on the left lane. Had I kept leaning into the left turn, I would have hit the side of the truck. I'd say he had it going at 50mph. All this just 100 feet from home. I should have followed the truck onto his driveway, because he lives about the same distance to his place. What would you've done? And then along the way, two kids thought it would be neat to start walking on the middle of the street and demand that I stop, so they can interrogate me and the bike I was riding. What would you've done?
If I stop and confront, chances are, I'd lose my temper and you know the quantum possibilities.
