Good to hear you kept both tires on the ground. I agree with most everyone on here. I almost always ride in the left lane to A:stay away from the on/off ramps and B: because the left lane has a shoulder if you need it. If I come up on someone in the left lane, I'll sit behind them for a minute and sometimes they'll move over, or pass them quickly on the right to get by. But never taking my time, and avoiding the blind spots of the driver as much as possible. I've never followed someone to yell at them for cutting me off. There are too many careless drivers out there.
rinding in LA and around get lost of these ... fortunatelly not hit yet but lots of close calls . I usually just ride away , maybe shake my head but nothing to do about it ...
