These days when I have an idiot like the one in these last two posts and slower traffic forces me to slow down, I just consider it a coasting or drafting opportunity.

I did have a big rig make a left turn then realise it was one turn too soon and he pulled over in my lane. I was on my bike so I just moved over and slowed down to let him get back in the lane. On a bike you just have to expect that kind of thing and give some extra room when it is practical.

One day my buddy and I were coming back from lunch. We came to the red light right at his familie's shop and stopped, waiting for the light to change. For some reason the guy in front of us went ballistic, I have no idea why, he even went so far as to put his car in reverse adn act like he was going to back up into us. We are both fairly healthy and we
waved him on. "Come on hit me you idiot". My buddy makes good money every time someone runs into him since his father lets him fix his own car for free any time it gets hit.

I gues the idiot decided that pulling away from the light normally was HIS BEST OPTION.

To this day I have no idea why he went off on us, there was absolutely no reason for his actions.
