Riding home tonight I was bellowed at from the passenger side of a transit. Just a random bellow I suppose to worry me. As the van stopped at the lights and I pulled up alongside, the (very sterotypically Ginster holding) skinhead was smiling at me and I smiled back and said 'Nice!'. He seemed unsettled and over the two traffic lights that followed and we ended up side by side he wouldn't meet my eye.
Although I do RLJ alot, I do not if it means I'm scaring pedestrians or causing traffic to brake, and definitely the best way of dealing with irate motorists or peds is a wink or a blown kiss, perhaps enhanced with a 'Don't let this spoil your day!'
