My rant for today is while I was riding 2 days ago some asshat pulls out and makes a left turn in front of me. Now, this isn't the first time this has happened but listen to how it went down.
I make a casual left-hand turn at a stop light. I accelerate ( not fast, I don't accelerate fast in traffic, just asking for trouble ) a bit and maybe 500ft down the road this guy turns left ( going from middle turn-lane to the right side of the street ) right in front of me, going super slow. I see him with plenty of time to spare and start rapidly slowing down and giving him one of the usual 'WTF?' looks. He has the audacity to beep his horn at me and give me the 'WTF are you doing?!' look.... uhh... "Hi, I have the right of way jerkoff.".
Anyways...
Oh, and one more rant... asshats that don't know how to use their friggin blinkers!! When you're turning on or off a busy street, use your damn blinker!! I was turning left into a parking lot a few days ago. The guy in the oncoming traffic side suddenly slows down to turn right just as I'm already inching my way across the other side ( i.e. timing it to pass behind him ). Because he did this I had to HOPE he got off the road fast enough so I wouldn't get hit by oncoming traffic. If he had his blinker on, I would have known he was turning and would have just waited.
Okay I'm done for now...
