Flipped off some lady this morning

[MikeB]

I mean, she had to know I was there, we were next to each other at the light.

No, she did not have to know you were there, and there about a thousand scientific and traffic studies -- as well as incident reports -- to back that up. I heard it one time directly from the source -- the cage driver who stood over me and told me exactly that as I lay in the road having t-boned him as he pulled out from a stop sign: "I just didn't see you." Bright sunny day, clear sightlines, me with headlight on and wearing a bright red riding jacket.

So NO. Odds are she did NOT see you, or more correctly did not NOTICE you. It happens all the time.

Nah, I'd have just played her a 15 second single note tune on my horn, to let her and everyone else know she wasn't paying attention.

I confess I went for the horn too, and if I'd found it I may not have flipped her off. Alas, with thicker gloves and the Polar Hands on the bars, I missed the horn button in that immediate moment.

I've had that happen before, I had some lady push me out of my lane, I got behind her. She did see and hear me, her window was down and my bike is not that quiet at open throttle. At the next red, I pulled up alongside and just asked her "Is wherever you have to go, more important than a human life?" She asked "what?" and I repeated it. She apologized and I just reminded her that her car offers her protection while a motorcycle doesn't and that she should be more aware of what she's doing and the danger she places others in. The light changed and I turned left to go home. She was an older woman in a sport type Japanese car, Eclipse or something.
