I have no problem making it known to a car driver that he almost killed me. However, what said car driver learns from the encounter is entirely up to you. Will it be:

1. Fucking areshole bikers, I wish I had knocked him off, or

2. I almost killed that guy, fuck I'm going to have to be more attentive.

People react when abused, and it's more likely to envoke response #1 than #2. Being polite can have the biggest impact.

(of course there are some arseholes out there who won't learn, but the majority of the time it's average joe who "just didn't see us"....)

fight or flight?
there are only two options. If you take the fight will they take the flight?

Ok, it is hard to ignore, but think of your daughters and how much you want to go home to them. and next time, open your eyes and you may well see the dickhead just before he cuts the lanes without indicating and give him some room.

my tip: just chill

Good on ya!!! I have no problem with letting ignorant car drivers know what I think of there efforts, including removing the odd wing mirror etc.
My Dad was killed by an 82 yr old woman who "Didn't See the Motorcycle". Even though he was clad from head to toe in bright yellow wets and had his headlight on. Tends to piss me off when I see people putting motorcyclists in danger. They need a good rev up then hopefully it will make them more aware of what they are doing on the road.
