Fuck admiration, I am not in the game of seeking admiration from someone who just tired to kill me in an attempt to shave 12 seconds (if that) off their journey time, seeking admiration here is the wrong response, what you should be doing is reminding them that to risk another's life brings with it a rightfully angry response.
It really is not cool to nearly kill one of us, maybe someone's girlfriend or son or mother or brother to save a little time getting to work, it is less cool for the cyclist to placate the driver, let him know that his casually considered actions that nearly killed my son or best friend 'aren't really so bad'
Fuck that, each time a life is threatened we need spend no time taking the sting out of the situation, if anything it needs to be amplified.
