Yesterday morning, on the way into work, I was riding west on this road you see here, turning left onto the road shown on the left side: http://goo.gl/maps/8PWiM

As I approached I was in the left side of my lane (no cars behind me) with my left arm stretched out. A car was waiting there, or had just stopped at the stop sign, to turn left to go the same direction I was going. Just as I got in front of the car to go left around it, the car immediately starts pulling out! I had to swerve right to avoid hitting the right side of the car, or the car broadsiding me on the left.

As this was happening I was yelling HEY HEY HEY HEY!!! at the top of my lungs. Car's windows were up. This was a small-ish SUV type vehicle, Jeep Liberty or something I think, so the driver was higher up than in a normal car. It sort of looked like the driver was looking my direction, but made ZERO attempt to avoid me, to say anything, to make any kind of hand motions or anything else. As the car rolled on past me and I made the turn, I yelled after it "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU???" No reaction at all.

I was wearing this high-vis orange jersey on the left, Cygolite ExpiliOn 700 going full-tilt on daytime flash mode.



How the driver could have not seen me is beyond me, or acted like he/she didn't even care that I was there.

I wanted to smack the side of the car or something, but as I was making that turn and avoiding the car, I was also dealing with my stupid@$$ FD dropping the chain off my small ring as I was going from the large to the small ring, and trying to back-peddle a bit to keep it from dropping off.
