The reason I've been looking into this is because there has been some erratic car behavior around me during my commutes and lately the local cops have been "eye-balling". As if to check on me and see if I'm behaving illegally. Of course I'm not, and they always see me on the right side of the road and even signaling. I've been tempted to call the cops and report some of the cars behaviors.

Yesterday was particularly disturbing. Not dangerous to me but definitely against the law and putting themselves and others lives at risk. We all know that some drivers give us waaaay too much courtesy room, some even drive with all 4 wheels over the double yellow line into oncoming traffic. This is so dangerous because someone else coming from a side street or driveway have no idea and are not looking in this direction, they are looking where they would expect to see traffic coming from.

Anyway yesterday, as I was approaching a pedestrian crosswalk - the kind with a big plastic sign in the middle of the road that reads: "yield to pedestrians, it's the law" this moron instead of just driving by me, and there was enough room, or slowing down to wait for me to pass by the crosswalk, and then pass with 2 wheels over the line (which is fine) he actually drives completely into oncoming traffic (none at the time) around the sign. I was amazed. I hope he was saying to himself - "gee, this doesn't feel right and I definitely won't do this again".

BTW: this road is straight with good visibility, good shoulder for me and I was right on the white line. The shoulder is only about 5 inches wide though, so I was doing all I could. I also had a nice section of flat grass just to the right of the shoulder, so I could bail easily if necessary.

But if someone was pulling out of a driveway and looking back toward where oncoming traffic is expected, they never would have seen this idiot!
