They just think we are in the way. I always try to get people's license numbers, but they are always gone so fast I can only get half.
My BF caught up with a guy, at a stop sign, who threw something at him, and pulled him out the window, and the police came and gave the motorist a ticket.
I hate how they always have to honk as loud as they can. Last Saturday, I was on a country road, middle of nowhere, coming up to rough RR tracks, and a truck was behind me and honking, so I glanced back at him, but stayed out in the road where I could negotiate the tracks safely, not pushed out to the edge if he tried to pass. After I was across, I moved way over, and then the truck passed me over in the other lane, so I waved thanks. I _think_ he started out being a d**k about it, but then realized I wasn't trying to hog the road, just negotiate an obstacle safely...
