She had probably been drinking and needed to run away to sober up, even though she had right of way.

A not insignificant subset of drivers seem to think that another party being in the wrong gives them a license to murder, it’s some bizarre poo poo.

There's a city park down the road from me that usually has little league games right around the time I like to go on bike rides. This is when I get to see my favorite driving maneuver. 1.) A car pulls up behind me as we approach the park on a curved road. 2.) The car gets impatient and passes me even though they can't see oncoming traffic well. Sometimes oncoming traffic has to stop to avoid a collision. 3.) As soon as the car passes me they turn on their left turn signal and slow down to turn into the park. 4.) The car stops and waits to turn into the park due to oncoming traffic. I have to stop and wait behind the car that just passed me and almost ran someone off the road. This poo poo happens all the time. People perform unsafe passes just to hurry up and wait in traffic.

i love when someone goes roaring by me, frequently performing an unsafe pass (i.e. accelerating before the lane change has been completed and risking a collision) and then i pull up next to them at a red light. good job!

My favorite is when someone does this, drives like a maniac to pass me in the slow lane then once they're in front of me immediately slams on their brake to make the next right turn at an intersection. Like -- what did you gain by driving unsafely to get past me just to turn 2 seconds later? Idgi

Drivers will really hold onto that memory of the one time a cyclist did something wrong, while erasing the countless times they almost died from a vehicular collision.

Downstairs neighbor is the stereotypical woke lib rebelling against rich conservative parents, has two cars street parked outside, insist on driving everywhere, such as to the grocery store 0.1 miles away, and refuses to take the metro because its 'scary' (my wife and I take it every day for work, neither of us has a car). Today she informed me I was privileged for being able to afford 100/month more than her in rent (my unit has central air/heating, hers doesnt).

Cyclists should always run reds where safe to do because bicycles and pedestrians shouldn't have to obey road rules as they are not 2500kg killing machines capable of insanely unsafe speeds

I can assure you that I remember all 5 of the times that I almost got into a 60+ mph wreck in the past 6 months Favorite was the guy who passed a wide load truck while going over a hill and almost hit me head on.

God Hole posted:(collision happens at 1 min mark) What a cluster. 1. The grey car on the left parked on the crosswalk. 2. The bicyclist runs the light, passing all the stopped cars before getting hit. 3. The council woman looks like she's speeding, isn't paying attention, and doesn't stop. 4. The motorcycle that comes up behind the cars, cuts into oncoming traffic to skip the line. 5. The pile of broken glass in the intersection from a previous wreck.

The Jaywalker rightly assumes that cars are out to murder 'em and only crosses when they are certain it is safe. The credulous cross walk user gapes in disbelief as a car plows them over.

There are two paths, one for pedestrians and one for cyclists.
