So I was riding the motorcycle yesterday.
Some dumb goober in a Merc decided I was too close to his car, so he moved over towards me and the bastard ran over my right foot!
It has been throbbing ALL night and still hurts now.
Can anyone tell me why people who own expensive cars are such complete and utter a?????eS?!?

I'm having trouble following this one. 
A man driving a Mercedes?  Really?  And then she was stopped alongside you and she was offended by your closeness and responded by getting closer still.  How does one steer the car perpendicularly?  And how did the car evade your line of sight while having a wheel near your foot?

Anyway, it has been my experience that driver's wanting to getreallyclose to me at stops are from nations where cattle regularly walk the streets and personal space is an alien concept.

If you pay attention the higher end cars are usually the a?????es who do as they please anyway.   Dont know how u get your foot run over and not pull some out of the car and slap the crap out of them.  I have had a?????es while at a lite try to squeeze by and its all I can do to not put a boot print on the side.

i was stopped momentarily during VERY heavy traffic, and I could not squeeze between the cars in front and the guy in the Merc was on my right. My foot was down for literally just enough time to get run over.

Point is he was already close and decided he was going to get closer no matter the consequences.

Here we drive on the "wrong" side...

How did he get that close without hitting parts of the motorcycle or do you stick your foot way way out to the side for some reason?  scratcher

Was the car going the same or opposite  direction and were you spiting lanes?
