    Glad you are ok Jess. I have had similar situations happen to me, and it does mess up your day. Some people are just like that, they think they are always right and you are wrong, no matter what you did. Don't let it affect your day. It probably was not a personal thing, she would have done that to ANY cyclist.

    One of the closest calls we ever had was back in 2004, I'd guess (since that was the year I rode the most miles) with a similar psycho driver, who got so angry that we were on the road and impeding her progress that she turned into a driveway after she passed us, and backed out quickly right as we went by. I was a bit behind my husband, but she literally tried to run him down with her car. Fortunately, he's an excellent bike handler and was able to swerve just as I started yelling that she was backing right into him! Her window was down and both she and my DH started shouting and cursing at each other at the same time. I got upset at my DH for getting verbal b/c you never know when some nut job has a gun, not to mention the lethal weapon she was driving. We were SO shaken up by this incident it totally ruined our ride.

    So sorry you encountered another psycho, Jess. Glad you're okay!
