Having had a few close encounters of the vehicle kind myself, I can relate with the range of emotions this messenger was dealing with. I myself don't quite understand the callousness some drivers exhibit when driving.. The lack of consideration riders endure on the daily sucks and IMO, is indicative of the larger narcissistic tendencies exhibited by bad drivers in general. Since I went ahead and ran down the generalization road, aggressive SUV drivers tend to be the absolute worst of the bunch. Both of my close encounters where with Escalades and both times the driver didn't seem to be overly concerned with the possible consequences of their inability to follow the rules we all agreed to. I guess in their mind might makes right and they are the 6800 lb gorilla on the road....
