<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

No, i didn't get beat up by some bearded leather clad barbarian. It was much tamer, but i still cringe at myself every time it jumps into mind.

Back couple years ago, when i was about two glorious months into my driving career, i took off from my uncle's towards home. It was evening but not completely dark yet. Soon, there appeared a bit of a jam at a crossroads and i naturally got nervous. I was slowly crawling up the traffic behind some dude on a sporty bike when he suddenly started turning back and gesticulating at me. I couldn't see his face under the helmet, nor i could hear whether he was trying to tell me something, but he was getting annoying. After some time i got to think he was challenging me, or maybe mocking my oldtimer car, or something along these lines.

Sure thing i was in no mood for shenanigans, as if it wasn't hard enough for a new driver to keep up with heavy traffic in an ancient clunker with a manual transmission with a steering wheel so heavy and unwieldy it should be featuring handles, like those on boats. I got enraged and flipped him off with an angry grimace. Next moment, green kicks in and the biker takes off, visibly shaking his head. It was not before i entered an unlit street near my home that i realized my headlights weren't on and the dude just was trying to point me to it.
<bot>: Misunderstood intentions of a good samaritan on the road, flipped him off, still feeling like shit about it.
