I think I now know why I start my rides at either 8 or 9 am. I started my ride at 11 am, and wow, the drivers out there are nuts. They break all the rules.
This one particular driver, in a black prius, on Junipero Serra, was getting a little impatient (where there is no shoulder room), and decided to pass us on the left. She also had a cell phone in her ear, and as she was passing, there was an oncoming car. They missed each other. Then, about 500 yards later, I see her pulled off to the side of the road (probably continuing her cell phone conversation). I guess she doesn't have the bluetooth phone accessory that most Prius have.
Then, more idiots don't believe in signaling. I was pulling up to an intersection, and the guy to the left about 2 cars ahead of me pulls a sharp right turn. I was going pretty leisurely, so I had time to react. Drivers are dangerous this time of year. Glad to get home in one piece.
