Part of my rage is precisely because I go out of my way to make sure I am visible,courteous,and predictable.I have blinkies front and rear,always on- even in daylight.I signal my intentions and follow the rules of the road.
Lots of good feedback here-particularly about reconsidering my route.I think 3 of 5 incidences have occured on the same 3 block stretch of a busy road where Im forced to take the left lane to turn.Maybe I can go around or use the crosswalk,but the stubborn side of me wants to assert my right to the road..lol.
I think alot of these drivers are ignorant to the laws regarding bikes.We need some PSA's on TV to inform the public or something.
Pretty much. A bunch of people tend to either forget the test material after passiing and obtaining their license or simply cherry pick the one's they care to observe. And motorists aren't the only ones doing so...
