Too many drive their cars like drones or assholes.
Here's what I have an issue with:
Have you ever put the blinker on to change lane and as soon as you put it on the cars behind you hits the gas trying to keep you from getting in front of them?
God forbid you should end up "stealing" their place in traffic, never mind if they can cause an accident!
I just can't get it: even in Italy, where people drive admittedly wildly, if you put the blinker (rare event, granted) I will make room so you can merge.
But not here.
Now put yourself on two wheels rather than four.
In NY.
My judgment here tells me it was an attempted hit and run.
It happened to me in Rome.
My biker friends stopped the asshole that was trying to drive away while I was lying down in an intersection, trying to figure out wether I could still move my legs.
The driver could have got away with a couple of well deserved slaps, but he let it escalate.
Yeah, I have been on two wheels for the last 30 years, I identify with bikers.
