    I’m aware of engine braking, and some were doing that, but I’m referring to drivers inching up behind and REVVING.

    And when it was a dickhead in a pick-up truck, they would GAS IT. Two of them actually peeled out as they passed!

    A few other drivers would intentionally block the shoulder (when there was one), so I’d either have to be behind a line of cars, or ride off the road. Several would do this to bike lanes, when there was a line at a stop sign, probably because they knew I’d fly past them without any traffic in my lane 😂

    I mean, on the same ride, I was also yelled at (while I was on an MUP) by a passing van.

    I 100% believe that much of this behaviour was intimidation.

    Unfortunately, the bike I was riding doesn’t have my usual camera on it, or I would have been able to make a compilation featuring Idiot Drivers of Durham Region and York Region.
