My son posted this on TSBA this morning:
"Riding in Traffic you get to learn how to read traffic pretty darn well. Half the time I can tell what a car is going to do before the driver even starts to look around in their mirrors or use a signal. Not a day goes by where somebody doesn't try to move over on me and a quick twist of the throttle and I am clear and they are jerking their cage back to where it came from. But every once in a while you get something really stupid, really unexplained, something that could really get your butt killed.
This morning I am coming in to work and coming down a 6 lane road with a median in the middle I am the only vehicle in the road and in the middle lane, I am boogying on in in my normal fashion snapping through the gears when I start coming up on a car in the right lane going slowly, too slowly. This looks odd so I start to back off and I notice he puts on his brakes but there is a curb and no any place for him to pull into to the right. I am still coming up quick so I move to the left lane not sure what he is about to do and then it dawns on me, he may be about to make a U-turn! As soon as I down shift and lay on the brakes he makes the slow left turn right infront of my path. Do I have an exit in front, in back, maybe.... Hell no! The ******** finally see's me and slams on his brakes right in front of me instead of trying to gun it out of my path. I let off the brakes and shoot a line around the rear bumper and barely make it. As I look back I see him take off. Now I am angry and he is going to get a peice of my mind. Persuit takes all of 2 seconds and the guy ignores me when I pull up next to him. Then we pull up to a red light and I guess he didn't think I would drive my bike up next to his window in between cars. Then I start talking and he ignores me and it turns into a quick yell. He shoots me a dirty look and then gives me the finger after all, he is talking on his cell phone.
Now I am a reasonable person, but this man just **** near killed me, and now he is going to give me insulting gestures, Until that moment, I was a reasonable person. Now he can look forward to spending the rest of the day cleaning the glass out of his nice business suit and nice business car. I took my right Icon gloved hand and smash my fist through his driver side window. Then, I grabbed his cell phone and smashed it into a thousand pieces on the pavement. And I hope that was a business cell phone that he has to replace as well.
I've never attempted to crush one before, but they crumble like a snickers bar."
