Nearly RAMmed
Riding home from Canberra, a RAM towing a horse box decided that it couldn't slow enough to let me carry on straight down the highway, despite it being more than six seconds since he first blew his horn. Then after pulling alongside and abusing me, the driver steered his vehicle so that both the ute and trailer wheels crossed the white line. I was squeezed into the very edge of the road, and instead of the 1.5m the law requires, I had just 15cm between my handlebar and the trailer. Incident reported to ACT police, who took a copy of the video as their evidence.
