I called a driver a bad name. Can I be forgiven?
On my ride home today.
One of those intersections that widens to two lanes plus a left turn lane before the intersection, but then narrows to a single lane after.
I moved to the left of the right lane to let cars turn right. As the light turned green I started to go and as I rode through the intersection I began to move slight right to the center of my lane. One car behind me turned right. The second car decided to pass me on my right in the intersection. If I'd been quicker moving right...I don't want to think about it.
I called him a bad name. His window was open but I don't think he heard me.
The result of that dangerous move? He gained three car lengths in the line and was second in line at the railroad crossing as I caught up at the same time the gates were rising.
By far, most drivers are safe and courteous on my commute, but every once in a while somebody does something dangerous.
