The driver continued on my left, passed me and moved into "my" lefthand turning lane and then made a left in front of me.
Did you make any kind of left hand signal before moving left to the left turn lane? Perhaps your lateral movement took that one driver by surprise. Or maybe he was inattentive, or merely being a d-bag.
Another fairly uneventful ride, but I woke up late again. Usually I leave the house at 6, but this time I missed the alarm I guess and work up at 6. Rolled out at 6:40, got to work before 8 and was ready to go about 8:15. Control and release working well again, except for one person where I did not make the "stay back" signal, so they hurried on past with another oncoming car nearly on top of them. Idiots.
