Just Caused an Accident... I think?



There is a side street that runs behind the post office and is the main exit for the drive thru mail drop off and I am used to people pulling out without looking at traffic.



So today as I'm cruising by, a car comes to a stop, looks at me, has plenty of room and pulls out.... No problem...



The guy behind her however in his giant silver tahoe, decides he waited long enough, flies out the driveway and right in front of me....



Locked up the rear, aggressive on the front and almost killed it as I forgot to downshift in my panic.



Well, A blast of the horn, the ole , and I was ready to chock it up to typical stupidity... then I see his hand out the window returning the ole ...



WTF??? You just about hit me! So I honk again a few times, rev my engine to get him to look, throw my hands in the air and scream "DID You not f*cking look? You almost hit me!!!""



He leans out and says "You were going to fast!!!"



Now I'm . We pull away from the stop sign we're stopped at and I will admit, I was riding him a lil close right in his mirror continuing to let him know I thought he was wrong....



He: stared at me as I was doing this and kept flipping me off and laughing. Thanks to the big mirrors on the tahoe I could see him doing this. About 4 or 5 business's past the stop sign I see a lil ole lady start to pull out of a driveway, I back off a bit and notice her still pulling out....



I am hard on the brakes to giving both of them room, however I can see he is still staring at me.... 3....2......1..... BooM!!! T-bones this lady right in the door.



I immediately go to stop, but then my inner devil speaks out and says this is Karma at it's finest and I must rub it in....



So I pull up to his window, see his airbag has deployed and he is waving his hands at the dust... and when he suddenly looks at me I say

"Hey, you were going to fast" and drove off.



I wish I had stopped and waited for the cops to give my witness statement, but was worried I"d wind up getting in a fight with the guy, and that somehow this was my fault....



Not that I think it was, he hit her, she pulled out in front of him...



But IDK, laws today, cops today, the anti-motorcycle sentiment I read about so often here on BARF.... I thought driving off was a better plan... Any thoughts?
