> ...and shouted "fuck off you pissy little cunt" to me. There's a name for this incident - "road rage". Very real and dangerous indeed. People get completely irrational and agitated. Probably due to effect of being locked up, in a way, non-free inside their cars. When I'm biking, at times I too get mad at some careless and obnoxious drivers encroaching my freedom, I guess they may be finding me just as annoying for simply missing the fatter wheels and a comparable scale on the shared road. Irrational! As cyclists we are literally more exposed on the road. So whenever such inevitable bout of irrational fury pops, I find the safest option for myself is to steam-off using similar vocabulary. It's more efficient than reasoning with the unreasonable. Just to be even safer, I'd let the offending four-wheeled furia be gone before naming the whole piece of that motorized content in precisely spoken choice of words... It takes practice though. Be safe!
