Out with the wife doing a two up run from to Musclemans lake and back to Brampton, on way back riding on King right before King City, two lane boulevard driving in my correct blocking position on left lane passing slower cars, a lady tried to pass me in my lane, I almost blew my fuse, I was ready to kick the car, she looked at me like I was the crazy person, in the end she ended up stopping her car in the oncoming lane ;) It took me a couple of hours and several beers once I got home to forget about it..... Good thing I am like most bikers aware of everything around me and behind me....
 
Just remember, the right of weight. If she had decided to "merge" back, you would have lost. Be careful - lots of crazies out there.

Musselman's is a great place for an ice cream run!

Is ok rant for first attempt. Please do not discount that, beyond just bad driving skillz, some people are on medications + are spacey. Really, riding is a bad idea because you're luck quotient starts at 0 everytime you head out. It is not cumulative.
 
The GTA is equally bad across the board, because obviously drivers criss-cross depending on jobs etc. As any large cosmopolitan city in the world.

OP, just get used to it and be on alert all the time and ride smart. Not much more you can do.
 
I guess you can say I have been very lucky, I have had situations where I can say... hmm, maybe next time I should do this instead, never have I had someone do this to me when I was in perfect riding position, 30 + years riding!! I looked her right in the eyes right next to my bike, and I know she saw the rage in them, if it wasn't for the wife on the back I would have done something I know that, thanks for the wife and keeping me legal, I was so fuming!

Some really funny comments. Thanks.
Leaving Erin last week, towards Orangeville, doing the speed limit. 40 then to 50. Had my 6 covered at all times. Stupid cager really wants past me badly. I block until she gets to the section where the side section turns to gravel. Had to pass me on the gravel.
To be honest I learn to live with stupid people. Nothing I can do about it. Smash her mirror, kick her door in. Not worth it.
What goes around comes around, sooner or later. Karma. I still enjoyed my ride without getting upset.
