I've had it on my motorcycle before.

See the way I figure it there ARE some drivers out to get motorcyclists. Take this for example:

I am on the interstate running alongside a white BMW. I like to run alongside because a lot of other relative positions to cars leave me in their blind spots. Anyways, from the corner of my eye I see the turn signals on the BMW go on to the left, which is the direction of my lane. I look over *make eye contact with the woman driving* and she makes her way over. I'm already in the fast lane, I have nowhere to go with a car in front and behind me, so use my steel toed riding boots and give her a little wakeup call via a boot to her side door. She jerks back into her lane, I flick her off, and promptly brake behind her and get off at the next exit so she can't get my plate. I left a good sized dent in her door.

I've also done that to another car, same reason, except I tried to brake behind them to get out of the way and got jammed up against a curb. Gave a little kick and took out his tail light.

Now I am much more calm though, mainly becuase I expect that from every car. You are never surprised when you lower your expectations for people's driving skills.
