Dear snake, did you try to eat me?

On my push bike ride home from my parents I rode past a snake on the road. As I was riding towards it I was thinking "Damn, that stick looks alot like a snake."

As I was riding past it, a car drove past it/ overtook me, and the snake jumped towards me/away from the car. I can't decide if the snake was trying to get out of the way of the car or trying to strike at me.

I do know its bad to ride over a snake as they can get caught in your wheels and bite you multiple times.
