History is full of people asserting their rights before they are paid attention, taken seriously and respected enough to be treated with courtesy. These kinds of demonstrations tend to make the world a better place.<br><br>

Yes, and this behavior is aggressive and rude and not demonstrating<br>
respectful belonging on the roads. If motorists behaved this way (and<br>
they do), bicyclists would be upset. No matter what kind of vehicle<br>
you're using, it's anti-social to behave as if you deserve the roads<br>
more than everyone else, and it makes the roads worse for everyone<br>
because it sets of an us vs. them antagonistic, competitive situation,<br>
rather than a cooperative pro-social situation.<br>
<br>
I know most CMers are out there to get revenge of car drivers, so I do<br>
expect them to be anti-social. But just remember that it's making the<br>
world a worse place.<br>
