That's because the best thing to do is NOT to bottle it up: you're supposed to let it go... practice the art of Zen, bro.

I find that motorcyclists get more ****** at other drivers, when those drivers commit some traffic offense/risky maneuver - moreso than they would if they were in a car. This is understandable, since any incident is MUCH more dangerous to the rider than the driver, HOWEVER:

The rider must always be conscious of the fact that it is his or her choice to ride, and by doing so the rider must choose to accept this elevated risk, without inflicting the burden onto others.

The sound of breaking glass is very Zen to some. I also volunteer so my karmic slate stays at about 50/50

Are you sure he saw you? People cannot correct themselves if they haven't noticed their wrong doings. He was probably too busy sending that text to even notice "little ol' Rob"

Given how close he came I have no doubt that he saw me. If he hadn't, he'd have hit me.

Wait for the video.

A motorcycle can out accelerate a car. It can't necessarily out break one.



And did you remember the license plate, and report them? I would. That sort of dangerous behaviour deserves a call or letter from Roadwatch.

I remembered the licence plate, but by the time I pulled over I cooled off, and honestly, didn't know whom to report this. Thought that police was the only option and that it was not worth making that call.
Now I know.
 
I really don't believe that you were simply riding along. I'm sure you must have done something to piss off said driver for him to react like that.

Once you realized that he was coming over, why did you try to pull ahead of him? Why not brake and let him have the lane (even if he is in the wrong)?

We all ride aggressively at times, but being 10x smaller and lighter makes me pretty damn humble at other times. This wouldda been one of them.
