road rage incident snipped Basically, and I hate to say it, he was acting like a big baby. Taking a fit when things weren't going his way and then sulking later. All road ragers are acting like babies. "I don't want things the way they are, and I'm going to blame you!" is written into each road rager's personality. Things like forgiveness and flexibility are not there. I doubt that I intimidated him, I'm don't look that imposing, but if I didn't know better I'd have thought he was scared. An immature person having a temper tantrum may in fact rely on him intimidating you. When that didn't work, he may have felt like his "big one" was taken away. How much room does someone need anyway? Is one lane not enough for some people? Judging by the number of cars I see in the ditch, especially in winter, I'd say entire roads aren't enough for some people.

I suggest that, in the future, you do your best to avoid second encounters with stupid people driving cars (assuming the first encounter was forced upon you). It can't be good policy for a cyclist. |

The car was some souped-up muscle car ...
I caught up two lights later ... You should have asked him, if his car is so powerful how come you were able to catch up to him? If that's too subtle for him just tell him he has a small penis. |

It can't be good policy for a cyclist. I agree. People are crazy. Its not even worth it (and not effective) to assert your rights to someone who is enraged about something else in their life and is taking it out on you with road rage. The fact that the guy had plenty of room to pass or at worst was slowed down for a couple of seconds demonstrates that this is not about traffic with the road-rager. He has something else going on, and it is best not to get involved in his problems. You won't "teach" him anything and risk more than you than expect. -H. |
