Mornings like this could give me an A & S attitude....

Riding to work, in the dark. I have a magicshine on "medium" on my bars, and one on my helmet. Reflectors about everywhere I can put em. Obnoxious Yellow jacket with all that nice 3M reflector tape on it.

I saw the cars coming from the right, approaching the stop (flashing red light and sign). To be more visible, I moved from the bike lane to the center of the traffic lane.

Lasered the driver of the approaching car with my helmet light. Really lit up her car. She did slow a bit, but never stopped at the sign before making the right turn. Right into where I was. I moved to the left of the center stripe as she slowed and I came along side her, as I was braking (not too fast, road wet and slick).

Now the funny part - I YELLED (caps mean really loud, ask my kids how loud I can be), "Hey!" Now she stops, in the lane. NEVER turned her head, just stopped, and then jetted off. I suppose no eye contact means it never happened.

First time in a year of commuting I have had this happen. First time in a year of commuting I have gotten pissed off to the point of wanting to do harm to someone. Man. Took most of the day for the adrenaline to drain off....

Sheesh. Getting tired of the idiots this spring....
