I had one accelerate into me as I was entering a two lane. This one has a semicircular entry ramp from another two lane. There were three of us riding, and the minivan simply decided not to allow the third one to enter (there was plenty of space until he goosed it). As it pulled up beside me the van engine was absolutely roaring, as he had opened a huge space behind him to squeeze me off the road. Fortunately, I made that last second re-check before following my buddies onto the road, and was able to swerve back to the shoulder, brake and merge in behind the van. The cars behind him had backed way off and were even farthur behind, so I had clear sailing as I watched the driver behind me shaking his head. They sure are unpredictable...must be that caged-in feeling. I'm glad you're okay.

Glad your alright too, you could be right with that caged in feeling they may have. Not enough to get out on to a bike themselves so just have to drive insanly to compensate for there repressed feelings.
