^^Drivers like that are playing with peoples lives. A lot of the time they don't make the connection between a cyclist and a HUMAN BEING. A lot of them think of them as pesky insects that are in their way of getting to their ultimate goal 5 seconds faster.
I've had one instance where a truck was driving aggressively at me, I approached him the first thing he did was lash out swearing, callingh me a cunt and all that. I said "you know, I have a newborn child at home (not even true) and would appreciate if you didn't endanger my life otherwise she won't have a dad to grow up with".
He made the connection and then shock horror apologized.
