Long story short, I had a guy try to run me off the road because "lane splitting is illegal". I'm in California, where it's perfectly legal. He took it upon his hands to enact some sort of vigilantly justice for an imaginary crime by attempting to run me over with a Ford Taurus.
I wanted to follow him home and beat the shit out of him in front of his wife and kids I was so livid. Show em what a tough guy they had on their hands when it came man to man. I ended up doing the smart thing. I won't necessarily say the "right" thing, just the smart thing.
I told him if I ever saw him driving again I'd drag him out through his window and "saw his fucking head off in front of traffic". At the time, I was angry enough to mean it. Needless to say, I think he'll be treating motorcyclists with a little more respect from now on.
To alot of drivers, us riders are just faceless machines pre-bundled with every shitty stereotype they've conjured through bad examples or ignorant imaginations. Hopefully upon retrospect he now realizes the potential gravity of his actions.
