They need instruction cuz the cops do nothing.
About 2 weeks ago, 6 cyclists were waiting for the crosswalk signal (MUP forces you to cross there). As the crosswalk lit, I was first to cross. But a station wagon decided to turn RT into us. I nearly was hit and I punched his passenger window and screamed. He kept going and I knew the guy on my right was toast. So I punched his back window harder and screamed even louder and he stopped (wrecked my light and put a gouge in my frame). I took off while about 4 of the remaining cyclists 'gave instruction' to the stopped wagon.
Last week at the same light, the
same guy was sitting there. The crosswalk light lit. He recognized me and looked down super guilty AND Waited. I nodded a thank you and took off.

Bike commuters are not all members of some club. Another cyclist is just yet another road user, and I'll adjust to any additional hazards they present accordingly.
