It is quite common here that a car, approaching from either side of the main road, blocks the bike path that runs along the main road. That's illegal here. They either think they can join the main road traffic early enough to get their cage off the intersection, or then they don't think.

Either way, I have made it a habit to ride at an unchanged speed towards them and then slam on the brakes at the last possible moment, stopping a few cms from their cage, then stare keenly inside through the side window. If they still pretend they do not see me, I'll tap lightly on the window to ask what the h*ll we are all doing (including myself), standing in the middle of an intersection and whatnot.

Judging by their behaviour I sincerely think at least some of them will think twice before doing it again.
