On topic....what's that?
I agree and it's a good idea to practice making a quick exit into a driveway of a parking lot for just this reason. Something that no training course I've ever heard of even mentions.
Only had that happen to me once in 30+ years. Two young asshats in a rat-truck. Thankfully the 2-lane road was pretty much empty at the time. A quick sprint to 100 mph for about a mile and I thought it was over. Not so.
Took them about 5 miles to catch up. Left them in the dust again and pulled off. Had my cell phone ready when they went past.
Couldn't handle it that way now as current bike won't go over 70.......so the best option now would be to scan ahead for a pull-off and slow down enough to get off with little or no braking. Done right, they won't be able to match the maneuver.
