My only advice is to ride defensively. I have had the experience more than I care to think about. The passing driver is almost always a macho teenager. Most of the time they return my gesture (the same one you make, I'm sure) and continue. I have several teenage children and they are making inquiries about a certain brown Toyota truck. If I ever find out who he was, I may go into the facial surgery business. He ran me into a field off a narrow road. Mark
