If it doesn't look like I'm stopping it's because I'm gonna rock the bike in a second after you clear the intersection. Instead I end up track standing and waiting for you to get the hell out of the way.
And seriously, don't stop in the freaking through road to try and let me out from a side road. Are you kidding? You're going to get me killed and yourself rear ended. Not to mention I was going left and there was traffic from the other direction, so it wasn't safe right then anyway.

And yet again last night. Coming up to a red light I need to turn left, one car across from me. I'm timing the light so I'm slowing but not stopping, light turns green, I'm still moving expecting the car to go and gonna roll behind him. He's not moving, then I see he's frantically waving through the windshield for me to go left.
I'm going too fast at this point to stop easily without going through the light and turning around, because I was expecting him to go. So I just dipped left real early, leaving myself tons of room in case he decided to go after all.
So dumb though. If you would just go like you're supposed to, I could turn left behind you like I was planning, and everything would be fine.
If I could average the overly nice drivers with the jerk drivers, I'd have perfect drivers all the time.
