so I turned around for a split second and she gives the a hand gesture to more forward / speed up just a tad bit to make her happy... still following close, I looked down at speed then she hit me. .."
So this lady sucks... sorry to hear about your experience and I do hope she gets her come-uppings for her BS move!! However, I have to think of some of the things that you could control here. When you were exiting, I assume you were engine braking to go down through the gears??? ...Did you flash your brake light to communicate that you were slowing???? You should have noticed this wacko lady sooner.. BEFORE you slow down, you should look in your mirrors to gauge the distance of the vehicle behind you. If they are close, start flashing the brake light to get her off your butt! The brake light is an excellent tool you can use to communicate to others on the road!
The other thing you said is that you gave up your space to make her happy (by speeding up to create space with her - you gave up your space in front of you) NEVER give up your space when on a motorcycle!!! Thats something you have DIRECT control over.
Hope it all works out for you! Glad it wasnt a worse situation tho!!!
