Ya cagers suck when they drive that way. +11tyb
But we all got responsibilities.

EDIT:
2 days ago in Marin, a Drunk on a Hardley cruiser took out 2 pedestrians killing them both, a father and little girl crossing the street.
He blew passed a stopped car at a stop sign doing about 70 they say.

He lost his leg and put the bike in a ball, ...and got a manslaughter charge. His life is screwed.

If there are driveways, I chillax. I can get to 70 in 1st gear in a blink.

Difference is that those asshole bikers are taking their own lives into their hands.  Chances are in a collision, you in your cage will be safe and sound.  Annoyed, but safe, whereas they will be road pizza.

Aggressive cagers are FAR worse than aggressive bikers as far as the collision is concerned.

I agree with Mr. Inc here, I can definitely see both sides.  I cage about 40k a year for work and a lot of my jobs are 60+ miles so I slab it a lot, but I do get the occasional rocket who thinks he needs to make a tire shaped dent in my bumber before he passes or I get irritated and hit a turn-about. 

On the other hand, who among us hasn't gotten pissed on a spirited ride in the middle of nowhere when suddenly a '95 F150 decides he wants to slow down for the sole reason of pissing the whole group off, then gets upset when we drop a gear and zip around him.  I do my absolute best to give cars a wide berth but when you have thet random wild hair up your ass, it makes it difficult to keep your tach in the mid-range :).

Hell, last week I had someone zip around me and cut me off IN MY CAGE.  I was in the work van and admittedly going under the speed limit (hey, it's not illegal) and a pos Civic passed me on the left only to slam on the brakes because we were coming up on a stop sign.  I almost had to pull over I was so mad. 
We're liberated by the hearts that imprison us.  We're taken hostage by the ones that we break.
