Joe That sucks, getting buzzed is bad enough but aggressive behavior from the guys in metal boxes is a bummer. Thank goodness for Cell phones.
I had a guy in a work truck buzz me close enough that I moved too close to a parked car and took out their side view mirror which unbalanced me enough to go down- nice bruise too. So much for the city of Seattle's "Sharrows". Of course the mother trucker didn't stop and I got to pay to replace the mirror I took out, but lady whose car was affected was so grateful that I was honest about it that it almost made the incident worthwhile....almost. Easier said than done but don't let the turkeys get you down man. You are after commuting on the PCH after all and not on some crappy quasi industrial urban jungle route -that's gotta be worth something. Hope the rest of your commutes this week are safe and sound.
