I'm so glad to hear it worked out for you. I hate jerky people. I don't know why it is that many people either a) don't see bikes even when they're yellow and have their brights on, or b) just have it out for bikers. I was so ecstatic when Texas passed the law allowing lane splitting during slow traffic conditions. I told all my biker friends, and then other people (non-riders) who were listening to the conversations would say horrible things like, "If saw a biker doing that, I'd open my door on them." That always made me mad. I did lots of lane splitting. It's safe if you follow the law's guidelines. But I knew that if any fool ever opened their door on me and I actually ran into it, I'd just have to beat them with my helmet and my armor plated gloves. Thankfully that never happened, but many people did try swerving over to the side as to not let me pass. It's like they were mad they were stuck in traffic with their suv's automatic transmission, A/C, and radio, not knowing how much it sucks to be in stand still traffic with a bike, with the constant shifting and overheating that goes along with not moving in 110 degree weather while wearing leather gear and a helmet. I don't know why it is, but it always seemed like drivers in trucks and SUVs were the worst about not seeing me and almost running me over. Maybe they have a bad blindspot.
