I was biking around NW DC on Saturday near the National Cathedral.

As I coasted to a stop (I was not going fast enough to get through the yellow even if I wanted to), the light changed to red, and about 4 seconds later some jerk in his Mercedes comes up behind me and swerves into the opposing lane to get around me and runs the light to make a left turn. WTF?! This wasn't one of those, "the light was still yellow" moments -- nooo, the light had been red long enough for everyone else to come to a stop.

I was stunned. Seriously... what the hell is wrong with people? This is not the first time I've been nearly run down by some errant Mercedes driver. It's a friggin Saturday afternoon, why are you in such a rush?!
