could have handled THAT better

[TrekTheKaty]

What I've learned about cycling safety is never yell at a car. They will win. The best advice off here was, at least hold up your phone so they THINK you are taking their picture. That may cause them to retreat. However, I've had a few close calls--and luckily the car was gone before I could start my rant. My husband did manage to get to a ladies open passenger car window after she cut me off and asked, "Why did you try to kill my wife?" But she was on the phone.............

But I completely understand your reaction, especially with your child's safety at risk. However, IMHO, you might want to sit down with him and discuss how that could have been handled differently.

PS. Everyone should check with their local cycling club. One organization in Missouri, will anonymously contact driver's if you can report a license plate. See if you can implement this in your area.
