And again, yes, I've been on the receiving end of jerk motorist comments, and rants as much as anyone here. But every once in awhile, I have to admit, I had it coming.
When a motorist comes up from behind, illegally crosses a double yellow to zoom in front of me to come to a stop at a red light behind another motorist also waiting to make a RIGHT turn... I am NOT the problem.
When a motorist makes an illegal right turn from a left lane... I am NOT the problem.
When a motorist has a choice of 2 other empty lanes, and instead chooses to come up behind me in the right lane, and lay on the horn... I am NOT the problem.
When a motorist swoops around me to try to cut me off while making a fast right turn into a mall... I am NOT the problem.
When a motorist comes up behind me and cuts off other motorists in an effort to simply get ahead of a cyclist coming up to a red light... I am NOT the problem.
When a motorist uses a right only lane to go straight to avoid lining up behind a cyclist at a red light... I am NOT the problem.
Shall I go on telling you why I was not wrong and the motorist was? These are all recent examples of situations in which I have been confronted or hassled. I think I'll continue with my view that I am NOT the problem.
