Had a close call yesterday at rush hour. I was in a wide parking lane (plenty of room away from the doors) and was racing toward a green light. Entered the intersection just as the light has turned yellow. At about the same time a taxi on my left that entered the intersection on green but could not proceed because the traffic was not moving decided to turn off the street rather than sit in the middle of the intersection and block it. Nearly right-hooked me. Fortunately I wondered if something like that might not happen, so I was prepared. But it was the closest I've come to a bike-car collision in a while...
