Happened to me the other day.
Yeah I admit, I waited about 5 seconds after looking to switch lanes. Dude was pulling out into the lane I was going, I didn’t see him, and next thing I knew I have a POS escort filling my rear view mirror. The dude slams on his horn for a good 5 seconds and proceeds to show me his middle finger for another 5, trying to stick his hand THROUGH his wnidshield.
Yeah sorry dude…I’m sure he felt really great after that, the entire drive down sheridan, especially after I let him pull next to me and gestured an apology. More than I would get usually.
Yeah it was probably the first time I accidentally did that in years.
As far as throwing the finger. Naaa, I don’t get upset anymore. Come on into my lane and I’ll just move over, or slow down, and laugh.
I’ve ridden motorcycles for 10 years. I stopped getting pissed off shortly after I started riding. I’ve been cut off and had close calls countless times. I don’t flip the bird or honk.
People make mistakes, showing them your finger just makes you look like an ass too.
