Well to take that to the extreme, there are a-holes in cars who will steer INTO a puddle to splash people on the sidewalk too. And I’ll bet that happens more often than a driver trying to “challenge” a bicyclist.
Yes there are many people like that in cars. I had one man lean out the window and try to pull me off of my bicycle while the car was going down the road. I was able to get away from him but it also happened to another lady who wasn’t so lucky and was nearly killed by them when they did get her off of her bike and she ended up under the car.
