Just last week I was almost run over by a silver honda civic while trying to use the crosswalk, said civic driver proceeded to honk and and yell at me for being in the way. Somehow, that's the second time I've almost been almost run over and then honked at by someone in a silver honda civic.
The Dutch have the best traffic rules and laws giving the advantages to the bicyclists. Driving in and out of traffic circle is a neck breaking experience.
“2 designated bike lanes”
Op had an option to not be in danger then. They were in the car lane to feel the drama.
I love the drama of getting hit by cars on the way to pick up my kid
So you're assuming the bike was in a car lane instead of a car trying to drive in the designated bike lane?
Considering the car was going 70 in a thirty it doesn't sound like he obeyed the rules of the road.
Yeah, some drivers seem to DGAG about the rules. Like I'm cycling straight and you're turning, asshole, honk whatever you want. [Note: applicable to Russia, your experiences may vary]
Electric rage.
