I laughed.
I get rude mothers behind me all the time. I remind myself that if I had two or three kids that were not well behaved in the backseat, I might be a little prone to irritation also.
I drive a 1994 Jeep Cherokee, it was my first car and at this point, 17 years later, I just want to see how long she goes before replacing her. BUT - lots of newer cars have no patience being behind an OLD CAR, even if I am 5mph over the limit. They get in front of me... and I wind up having to pass them later. It's hilarious.
Out here, the dangerous cars to watch for while on your bike are the highly jacked up pickup trucks and Ford mustangs - both driven by high school jocks with something to prove. The trucks scare me more, especially when they decide to jerk the wheel suddenly to avoid us or to cut back in the lane after passing - you know they are easily rolled. I swallow a gasp every time that happens.
