I'm riding home in the rain today and pull up behind the last car in the queue. The light goes green and vehicles up ahead start crawling. Dufus in front of me is on the phone and not paying attention. I yell to get going. Put down the phone and drive. He starts moving (barely) then slams on the brakes. He then proceeds through the intersection and does it again. There is a cop there, but the cop doesn't do anything, busy with a revenue stop. The sloth driver does it in total of about 5 times including dodging towards the curb to prevent me from missing him should I not be able to stop. At one point he decided to drive 10mph and other drivers pbutted.
Today's episode of tales of the sloth.... 2667P) ...which is just your generally combative personality at work again. Try concentrating on solving your problem without involving anyone else, especially the perpetrator, and maybe you'll never run onto the right...
Now that I think of it, I should have done something that would have encouraged him to slide into the high square curb and bend rim. But the wet required all my attention wrt braking.
Upon reaching the first right, I turned to take a different route. Guess what, I ended up at light right behind mr. sloth again some blocks away from where I broke away from him. He needs about 2 miles of open road before he'll do a right on red. (no turn signal) But this time he must not have looked in his rearview mirror and he had his windows up so he didn't hear me make a comment about his speed as he once again moved like a sloth.
Nothing peees off a sloth more than someone on a bicycle telling them they are going to slow and holding up traffic.
