Two traffic lanes and a left-turn lane with signal in all four directions. It's safe to turn right in some modes, but not others. The cycle is 3 minutes -- possibly more. The sloths who just miss their turn always wait until their turn comes up three minutes later.
The idiot city street people can't get the timing right no matter what they do, and trying just f***s it up worse. By design (or lack thereof) NO sensor will see a bicycle.
If they're in the wrong, smile and give them the finger. Or smile and wave, it's more annoying. The subject here is people who DON'T turn right when it's clearly their turn. We can generally recognize these people because their turn signals blink for the entire cycle.

A REAL aggressive driver knows where he is and where you are and won't hit you. A stupid driver is clueless and will hit you because he doesn't know any better. Yes, there's a difference.
I don't outrun even the little old ladies turning right. I do, however, do my best to keep out of the way of cars by riding as far to the right as practicable.
The increasing stress of drivingI'm very frustrated by the number of driving days that require the use of rapid deceleration, evasive action, and rapid acceleration to avoid a secondary incident. I've had more than 100 incidents within the...
If they slow down for me even if I'm not in their way and give no indication that I'm going to get in their way in the foreseeable future, then it's their problem and they don't know how to drive. People that stupid are a danger to themselves and others and a merciful god would direct them over an uninhabited cliff at the first opportunity.
Of course it is. So is voting. ALL drivers should do their best to get where they're going as expeditiously as possible without injuring anyone. If everyone were smart enough to do that we'd have a lot fewer traffic problems.
They probably involve cars, too.
