I was so pissed by the time I got home I wanted to throat punch this fucker..

As I was on my way home, I came to a spot where it is 2 lanes in each direction, on a long right hand curve.

There was a nice pickup truck in the left lane. I'm on the BMW, and go to pass the guy on the right. As I change lanes and get to about his rear bumper, he comes halfway across the line. Thinking maybe he honestly didn't see me, I gave him three quick taps of the horn, and it's a LOUD horn. Went by and gave him a *WTF* look. He gave me the same look in kind.

We get up to the next light, he's behind me, honking up a storm. Whatever. Light changes and I take off. At the next light, he pulls up beside me, rolls his window down, and this is how the conversation goes.

Him: You got a fucking problem?!
Me: Yeah, stay in your lane and pay attention!
Him: You got a fucking problem?!
Me: ..................
Him: Motorcycles don't pass on the right!
Me: What?! There's no law that says that!
Him: It doesn't matter, you're on a motorcycle! Motorcycles don't pass on the right!
Me: There were TWO lanes! I had every right to be there.
Him: Dumbshit

Then he took off. Too bad for him that I remembered his plate number. I'm tempted to call the police so they can explain the law to him, but I'll let it pass. If I see him again on my way home though, I may be tempted to give him that throat punch.

So, there's your Public Service Announcement gang. If you're on a motorcycle, you're not allowed to pass on the right. Who knew?
