got lucky last week... well a pick up truck with a trailer wouldnt move over wile incounting me so i had to almost ride the grass....... and then yesterday i saw a car backing up in the middle of the road then stoped on the side so i slowed a bit down...... so yeah then a car in that drive way like cut me off baddly and i know he saw me cause he stayed in the middle of the road with out driving just staying there and that asphalt is verry slipery at that place........ thought the bike was goin to slide on the side...... so i got mad and i was playing puting my beams right in his rear view mirror then the other car got right on my tail pissed me right off....

I hear that anger-management classes could take care of a lot of this. 

Seriously...you're going to encounter this constantly. If you get angry and start retaliating often, something bad is going to happen at some point. Moto vs. automobile/truck/etc....well...there's not much of a contest.... 

Ride as though no one can see you, because they usually can't/won't.

+1  Whenever I go out on the bike its not if people will pull out in front of me or on top of me, its how many people are going to.

yeah i know well like the thing is i know he was doin on purpose cause he was waiting to c if i was goin to crash in him..... thats what got me mad

You could always get in front of him and start tossing nuts, bolts, marbles, etc... into the air up and behind you. Ok, that's a bad idea. I'll shut up now.

People will do shaZam! on purpose on the time.  Once again this is just something you have to look out for and get used to.

I generally just try to stay ahead of morons.

I can't say I don't let my middle finger fly sometimes though. Personally I think the best is to do it while passing them on the driver's side, knock on the window and launch the bird.

But really though, not a good idea. Bike = 350 - 400 lbs   Car = 3500 - 4000 lbs. Not a fight I would pick if I was in to fighting.

Now with my 2 1/2 ton Buick.........

Hahah, but no really, in situations like that, pull over, call the cops and tell them the license plate and that they just ran you off the road.

Yeah, people who aren't looking out for you can be morons.  Also people will tailgate bikes for the sole purpose that we are on bikes, we are supposed to go fast right, and if we don't then they will try to figure out what year is on the stamped part of the plastic of your tail light.  Keep a cool head, get over and let them by, but by no means do something to purposly anger them further, you never know how pissed the already are or what they will do to get you back.  just do as stated above, stop, call police with plate number and tell them they are driving like morons and ran you off the road.

thats a good idea and right now with the cops i got some contacts like all of em would really be eazy
