This is much better said than my previous post. +1
The only other observation I have is this:
On my regular ride there is a particular intersection I have to deal with these nice little old ladies, invariably in Mercedes or Lexus autos. They will be turning left where I'm intendind to go straight forward. They will have a protected left turn signal that they ignore and try to wave me through. They will hold up any number of other vehicles while they contest their right to yield to me which I refuse on grounds of personal safety.
I want them to make their turn and get out of my life.
Or throw money.
For which I have and will again caper about for in an intersection. But that's OT.
