Not long ago, I was going through an intersection on a green... from one bike lane, continuing into the other on the other side of the intersection.
While I had a green, a driver making a left nearly ran into me, honked and did the same "what the fuck are you doing" to me.
It's pretty amazing that we don't hear of crashes every minute of the day, because some people quite literally have no idea what the hell they are doing.
I've been road biking a lot more frequently training for a triathlon. You gotta keep you head on a swivel because too many people don't understand right of way. I have a few roundabouts near me, and when I get to one, it's a coin flip as to if the other drivers no how they work. They aren't new. I had to lay on the horn the other day when someone stopped in the roundabout to let a car in. It was warm and windows were down so they definitely heard me yell, "don't stop in the fucking roundabout, dumbass". I haven't called someone a dumbass in a while. I've grown harsher in my insults, and bringing out a classic like that felt good.
I wish more people realized how dangerous some nice acts can be.
I've been in plenty of situations where someone might wave me on in situations where it really isn't appropriate or safe, so I have to basically yell at them to continue.
The last thing I want is for a driver with good intentions to be rear ended, and me getting hit. Three people's day would be ruined, at the very least.
When I'm driving, if there is a path crossing that has a light, and if there is someone sitting there waiting that hasn't pushed the button, I'm not stopping. It's not to be a dick, it's for safety reasons.
A few years ago, there was a fairly high profile local situation where someone hit and killed someone in a cross walk. What happened is it was a 4 lane in town road and someone was waiting to cross. Car A stops and waves then through, car B in the other lane drives through unaware there was someone crossing in front of the car that stopped in the middle of the road. Predictable transportation is safe transportation. Whether you're walking, biking, driving, or whatever, be predictable and consistent with the rules.
