I notice this a lot where I ride, people will look right at you (they see you) and then are indecisive whether to wait for you to pass, or pull out. I the thing I dislike most is that they sometimes pull out a bit, then pull out more basically blocking your way, instead of going or stoping. Making you swerve to get by I guess it has to do with people just don't realized how fast you can go on a bike, and they think either they can pull out faster then you can get there, or they would rather save themselves 2 seconds in their commute to work

somehow I think it is more of the latter
