not denying that, I just mentioned it so people didnt assume it was a punk ass behind the bars who made the mistake.
But yeah, when i ride (and drive for that matter) my eyes are BLOCKS ahead when intersections and lights are coming. I missed a few close ones becasue i pay attention that far ahead. I think some people dont want to wait or are bad judges of speed & small object coming at them to get timing down, and just think they have time to send it out there. Many times I watch them eye to eye see me coming and just send it infront of me… I just toss my hands up as I approach them like :dunno thanks dick head. Its crazy. They dont get that the extra 5-10 seconds waiting for the rider to pass, is a lot shorter time period than waiting for an ambulance and police to show up to deal with your ignorance.
