I almost got ran over twice yesterday. One girl was so busy looking to squeeze a red intersection going right that she gassed it while I was less than 6 feet close to her. Fortunately, having some "experience" with crosswalks, I was cruising really slowly (about 3mph) across the crosswalk, not too sure whether or not she noticed me.

The most dangerous place on my commute is the cross streets. A lot of caution goes a long way. Unfortunately, the stink eye and/or finger wagging is probably the only civil recourse a cyclist has. Screaming at/kicking/spitting on their car, etc. is a losing proposition on many levels.
