Gotta rein in my temper since it seems this is a typical occurrence!

Bottom line, although we both have rights to the road, cars are bigger and can hurt us so we have to be on guard all the time. If I don't think a car understands my moves, I back off and let the car have the right of way. I have many a friend who, while in the right, was struck by a car and seriously injuried. I'm just never in that big of a hurry to want to confront a car. Plus girl, riding should be about quiet quality time. No fun to ride all pissed off. Rein in that temper, go with the flow and you'll enjoy your riding more - or - take up mountain biking and get off the road!
