...don't check behind them before backing out into the bike lane!

Riding to class today and I see this lady a ways down the road trying to back her golf cart out across the bike lane. Looks behind her once, tries backing up and gets stuck on the curb. Pulls forwards for take two and proceeds to give it all the gas it has to make it over the curb, falsely assuming there is still nobody in her path. Emergency stop + Swerve + Angry cussing ensues...

Moral of the story: It's nice to have a front brake on a fixed gear.

Anybody else care to share other recent stories re-enforcing this lesson?
