Share the Road

same day as previous post...

I'm riding up to a stop sign - I'm only 50 feet away - there is a car 50 feet behind me - I put my arm out signalling my left turn and begin to move to the left side of the lane - car fires the engine, jumps in the opposite lane to pass me - I move over so as not to get hit - car stops at stop sign - I ride up to driver window - window is down - young female driver - "Share the Road", I say in my stern-Dad-voice (I didn't realize I had one of these until one of my daughters pointed it out) - driver does not look up, but does look frightened - maybe she will be more careful next time.
