I had a recent incident with a cager. He decided I wasn't allowed to merge. I was in front of him in the merge lane, I was about 1/3 of the way in and he accelerated up next to me. I slapped my knuckles against his passenger window and he slammed on the breaks. Once in front of him he started tailgating me. I literally stopped the bike in the middle of the road in rush hour traffic. His wife jumped out of their car and proceeded to first try to push my bike over and then started hitting my jacket. Must have hurt her hands hitting the armor. The guy jumps out and I yell at him to "get your stupid and ugly wife away from me or I'll have her ugly ass thrown in jail". He pulled her back and I took off. They followed me for about 4 miles, I ended up on the sidewalk going the wrong direction on a one-way street. The guy yelled at me that I wasn't allowed to merge in front of him. I'm extremely conservative when I ride. Honolulu always has traffic and our drivers are worse than LA. I waited for the car in front of him and was following the law. I think he was having a bad day and took it out on a bike because he was in a car. Moral of the story: drive like they want to kill you and when something happens stop. I was wearing boots, gloves, helmet and armored jacket. They really couldn't hurt me when I'm standing on the ground. Sean
