Yeah, happens almost daily *sigh* But above all else, that bothers me more than anything. People who just don't check are simply dangerous - I've rarely had the chance to try and explain that point to the driver though - I honestly don't know if it'd do any good.

Had a guy last night on a minor street in the east end (at least I was right by TEGH in case ) cut a left turn right in front of me... He stopped (in the middle of his turn/the intersection) when I threw my arms up, I ducked left to avoid him and yelled "WTF AM I? CHOPPED &*&^ing LIVER?" and added some other incoherent F-bombs noticing my headlight on full, my hi-vis vest was on and visible, etc. etc. All that risk to MY life for his 10 seconds. A-holes FTL.
