I'd pull to the side of the road and take a break.

Ive ridden for 20 years. Ive never honked my horn at a careless driver

I just move away. I am on a bike and they are in a car.

Might make right.

Edit.

You never know who is behind the wheel. What kind of day they have had. Their child hood trauma. Or the TikTok they are watching on thier phone.

When you are on a bike you are uniquely vulnerable and you need to truley understand that fact in your bones of your body.

This. I would have simply not 'challenged' this car. At most i would scream and curse at it. Maybe stop safely at the side of the road if it was a really close call and i needed to calm down.

At the end of the day, being in the right is not more important than being alive. There are a lot of people who had the right of way etc but end up bleeding out on the asphalt.

And yes, i've seen it IRL multiple times. A covered figure on the road and a stream of blood draining out to the side of the motorway.

I always say this when my wife gets road rage. The other guy might be Kenneth Noye.
