[Commute] Stuff shouted from cars

This evening while cycling home, I was shouted at by a driver as the overtook.  Amazingly it was actually audible, as the Doppler effect and engine noise. The shout was..

“Cycle lane”

Which I think was a reference to the fact that I was cycling in the road, rather than one of the new and mostly decent cycle superhighways.

I smiled, and shouted back

“Road”

While pointing out the very nice road that I was riding along.

I think that this little exchange my have upset the driver, and not exactly helped with car v cyclist relations, but if your shouting things from cars I don’t think your ready for calm discussion about the highway code.  So no big loss really.
