Worst driver ever?!

Here's what I saw, and was obstructed by, during today's ride...

1. in an SUV
2. stopped in crosswalk/bike path
3. talking on cell phone
4. picking her nose

Yes, that was all in a single driver -- all that was missing was an audible fart!

I'm a big fan of the fake right but turn left, the "Light turning green" means check the rear view mirror, and of course the "I just got out of church, so there's no way I can crash" dash out of the parking lot. Not to mention the ever popular 'decelerating lane change'.

I usually squirt people with my water bottle who I classify as a bad driver and I can catch them at the light. If they are really bad, then I switch from water to spiked drink of athletic goodness.

How about the "Gotta pass this slow poke on the two lane highway ... looks clear, only bikers ahead."

Give 'em a big old loogie in the window as he passes.
