Road was straight and clear for hundreds of yards either way, he had plenty of room to pass safely, but decided to lane split while leaning on his horn. Then he stopped in front of me and tried to cut me off when I tried to pass him.
Maybe it's just a string of bad luck but something like this has happened on almost every ride the past couple of weeks, including on group rides. I blame global stupiding.
Glad to see you got a photo of his vehicle with license plate. I'd be reporting it to the local cops for sure.
Some years ago I reported a guy to the cops that followed, harassed, and threatened to kill me. The report was written up as a "terroristic threat" even though terrorism had nothing to do with it. I never saw that guy again.
Not that the cops would do anything off that report, but if you ever come up dead in a ditch there'd be someone on record for them to look into.
