For the second time in about 6 months, I've had a scary experience with an angry motorist. This time, they drove (slowly) past me coming within 10cm of my handlebar. I shout out "Hey, too close!".
The guy stops his car in the middle of the street (blocking my path), gets out comes up to me all agro. I try to explain why I thought he should have stopped and waited rather than pass so close, and he gets more and more angry. I end up riding away and he runs after me hurling abuse at me.
God knows what he would have done if he'd caught up to me...I was scared. I thought he was going to attack me.
I'm sick of this shit. I'm not a big guy and I feel I need some way to defend myself from arseholes like that. Seriously thinking about carrying pepper spray or something. This shit seems to happen more and more often. Anybody else got any ideas on how to keep yourself safe?
