The thing is, if I'm coming up to a place where a driver might potentially turn left I always look for the indicators! I didn't see them but then, as I saw one at the last second, my thoughts have turned towards "Maybe you were so intent on getting up the hill that you didn't see it before he started turning." Then again, all his arguments were stupid, so whatever.
I also try to speak nicely to car drivers, I've had a few good quick points with them on occasion, but the others just seem to be set in their "I'm right" mentality.
But as to "riding on the inside of cars", that's where we're supposed to be otherwise they'd be honking at us for getting in their way. Whatever, we're going to get honked at no matter what we do so all we can do is always try to scan our behavior and see when we're in the wrong and correct it for the next time.
