I collected a funny stupid driver story about two weeks ago. My wife and I were riding up a street near my work one Saturday. We took a left against the red arrow (illegal, I know) by going around the car waiting at the intersection. We had just completed our turn when the idiot we passed at the light tried to make his left turn against the light too. Too bad he didn't look both ways because BANG! he got T-boned by a minivan. The speeds were low so it was more or less a fender-bender, but the wife and I had a good laugh and got the hell out of there. PDX po-po don't like bikers all that much so the risk of being blamed or at least hassled was high. Besides, it was his own dumb fault for not looking first. How do people drive around so unaware of their surroundings? Beats me.
