I certainly don't give one whit for "placating" drivers. If you have time, take a pic, file a ticket, call the non-emergency police number. Great.

And then the adult can use their bike to take the lane, stopping traffic, and let the 6 year old go around.

No need for loud horns or confronting people.

Try taking the lane without being seen as confrontational, heh.

There's a difference between asserting your right to a travel lane and getting directly in someone's face to yell at or lecture them. I agree both can be seen as confrontational, but I think the latter is significantly riskier. Especially since said person you're confronting has already demonstrated themselves to be antisocial.
