Commute was lovely this morning until an older man almost hit me *twice.* I don't think he saw me at all. He was too busy looking for parking in his POS old car.

First he did an illegal U-turn in front of me. I had enough time to say "oh great, he's turning" and slam on my brakes. Half a block later, when he finally maneuvered back out of the bike lane and into the right car lane, I thought it was safe to pass since, ya know, I was in a BIKE LANE and going considerably faster than him. He proceeded to swerve suddenly to the right, without looking or a turn signal, back into the bike lane. I only had time to yell "HEY!!!" (and some expletives). Thankfully he appeared to be only blind, not deaf. It was a close call though. I was thinking this would be the time a car actually hit me.
