Twice yesterday in 175 miles of riding, I was cut off by women in SUV's changing lanes while yacking on cell phones. The second one then turned into the left turn lane and as I was about to pass, she decided that this wasn't where she was going to go after all and swerved back into my lane. I reached out and "adjusted her passenger side mirror" that she obviously didn't know how to use. My closing speed was only about 15 mph, so I didn't hurt my gloved hand.

I wonder how she was going to explain that one to the hubby?

You need to invest in a pair of titanium knuckled gloves.

Personally I think they should all be proctologized with their cell phones .
But that's only my opinion .

A couple of months ago, I witnessed what I thought was karma in action. I was riding behind an SUV that was wandering back and forth between the two rightmost lanes of traffic (on a surface street). I could've sworn I was witnessing a drunk driver until I looked close and notice the phone plastered to the drivers head. We were doing about 45 mph and I decided to hang back to avoid getting sideswiped in a pass. After 1/2 mile, the SUV wandered out of the right lane, through the bike lane and smacked the curb hard enough to cause the right wheels to come off the ground. Simultaneously, the impact cause the gal's phone to fly right out the driver's side window, where it was promptly crushed by a Subaru in the next lane. The SUV driver just kept on going (albeit much straighter since the phone was no longer a distraction). When I pulled up next to her at the next light, I noticed that both right side rims were severely bent.

How much do you want to bet that she got a new phone before she got those rims fixed"

I'll bet you're right John.

What a deterrent.

Bet you'd never use someone else's cell phone again.

I would have loved to see that sequence of events. If she had to explain to hubby, I wonder how it went.

Another one today! I was riding home from work and where Rt. 90 East exits to Rt. 11 South, a woman in a Jeep Cherokee came on (yackin' on the cell) and she never even looked, came off the on ramp and right into my lane....I nearly clipped her. After I went by her, she flashed her lights at ME then blew by me at about 90 mph (I was going 75) cut in, hit her brakes, then flipped me off!

I just backed off a bit and let 'er go. At the very next exit she turned off and was yelling something at me when I went by.

I flipped her the bird and smiled big.....I know, should have just rode on by.

I know her blood pressure was very high 'cause she was red as a lobster and I was pretty sure those were veins popping from her forehead.

I see a common thread here--they're always women. I still think my way is most effective and permanent.

Whoooie! That's gonna get ya' stung!

I failed to mention the guy who blew the stop sign in town on Sunday, who I had a "purposely close call" with. I saw him (on the phone) and when he never looked before pulling through the sign into the roundabout, I rode right up to his door and yelled at the top of my lungs "Where'd you learn to drive lady!" He looked over with pie eyes and said "FU!" Like I did something wrong!
