Called a girl a dickhead. There's a blind corner shortly after a set of traffic lights. I habitually get overtaken on the outside of this corner through a pinch point and chevrons, so I also sprint to get to the corner first and take primary through it, but I get drivers endlessly gunning their engines to get past and overtake dangerously. She did it, despite m,y road position and gesticulations to stay back. Predictably they was a car coming the other way so she jagged back to the left and continued until the queue at the roundabout, at which point I overtook her again and shouted the expletive through her open window. It didn't make me feel good, but the adrenalin was flowing and it was just so spontaneous. Perhaps the shock on her face may make her think twice about doing it again, but probably not.
Felt guilty for a few minutes. Need to rethink my reactions.
