[QUOTE="Tenchi, post: 474169, member: 14185"] Worst thing I've seen a cager do? I had to think real hard about this, but I think the worst thing that I've seen someone do was pull out blindly from a stationary lane into an active lane without looking. It happens so frequently it's unbelievable and it's incredibly dangerous. That or [URL="https://member.eezi.net.au/taylor/over55cycling/advice/index.html#doored"]door prizes[/URL], but unless your a bicyclist like I am you shouldn't be riding that close to cars anyway. I basically do not commute on 4 wheels anymore - I'm either on my bicycle, on a motorcycle or in a bus. There's a major bicycle route out the front of my apartment, a bus stop and a Starbucks. This provides all sorts of hell right there. This morning, while waiting for the bus while the bicycle's in the shop, I watched a pickup just pull out straight in front of another car. He looked over his shoulder - AFTER he pulled into the lane. I'm noticing this a lot in Seattle - people will check their blind spot after completing half the merge. I could hear the ABS working in the other car as he swerved into the turning lane to avoid the pickup, which just kept going. I've been inspired as a result of this to buy a helmet cam as a result. I don't want anyone getting away with it if they do stupid sh*t like this. [/QUOTE]
