What do you do when you come upon a car, sitting still at a two-lane intersection even after the light has turned green? ... there is probably a good reason that car is sitting there (ambulance coming, slow pedestrian, animal ... any number of things), and the best thing to do is proceed with caution.
... or maybe texting? I had that experience last summer with a car stopped in front of me at a green light, so I cautiously passed on the left (no bike lane) just in time for them to realize that the light was green and decide to hammer it, with a cyclist right in front. Don't know if I would do that again. If I had an air horn mounted on the front of my bike - I know what I'd do then.
PS Just about every stop sign I've encountered cycling this weekend, a little "angel" shows up on my shoulder with the nickname Biker395.
