I had an encounter with a JAM this morning at the usual trouble spot, where a series of right-turn-only lanes form from straight-thru lanes. I was taking one of these lanes since I need to go straight and don't want to be to the right of a right-turn-only. JAM behind me honked a couple of times for me to get over and I ignored him. Then he gunned it to pass me on my right, using the RTOL. Of course, he turned right into a parking lot just a few seconds later, and I followed him. Words ensued.

Among the high points, both quotes from him:

"I just moved here. I read the law and passed a driver's test. It says cyclists have to be all the way to the right." Uh, no. When I told him what the law DOES say, he admitted it and changed tactics.

"Your life isn't worth 3 seconds of my time." He said this while holding his son (old enough to understand what we were saying) being dropped off at day care. Frankly this one stupified me and I failed to respond intelligently.
