Rant on bad drivers, as a Cyclist.
Out on my SS roadie for a quick run. I'm just cruising around. I approach an intersection....I have a green light, driver approaching the intersection from the opposite direction, has his blinker on to turn left...he's almost at the intersection, doesn't look like he's slowing down either. At this point I'm past the crosswalk and entering the intersection. he then proceeds to turn left at speed as he crosses the crosswalk.....RIGHT into me...I was going straight....so I have the right of way regardless If I was any slower going through the intersection, his front bumper would've hit my rear tire and caused me to crash.
It's like he wasn't even looking for oncoming traffic or anything....I was looking at him the whole time too, he was looking left the entire time, even before he entered the intersection.
I despise drivers like this. I was not in the wrong at all. He should've been looking for on coming traffic, and slowed down at the intersection. There were also pedestrians crossing the crosswalk that got a near miss. Stallion was in a huge import SUV too.
Yes, I was riding on the road. not the sidewalk.
A lot of drivers are just plain ignorant or don't give a flying feather about cyclists.
