Some car drivers just dont like us lane splitting at all. Anyone had a driver close the gap just as you get there ? - im talking walking pace not speed limit pace
Had an encounter a little while ago at some lights where a driver took offense to my very safe lane splitting. About 10 k later he appeared next to us (mrs on back) doing some pretty silly swerving & fist raising so i let him go. Pulled up at next set of lights & sat behind him as i thought id upset him enough. lights turned green, he takes off & slammes on the brakes. Could have killed us both, lucky the car behind us was on the ball. Wants me to pull over - more fist waving.
Although i was seeing red & quite happy to dance at that point we kept going. Just not worth it.
In the end i think i had more satisfaction knowing i did the right thing & was the better person
I do know where he lives but !!
