What drives me absolutely mad when I read these things is just the anger and the need to get somewhere so fast that you forget others also have lives, priorities,etc. In my town NO ONE signals. This is dangerous enough for a cyclist. However, at least I generally don't get run off the road. However, in my university town where there were a lot of cyclists, I would often run into road rage drivers who wanted to kill me because some cyclist had wronged them in the past, they were late, etc. I have dealt with my share of BAD cyclists while I was driving. Last night, a couple riding sans-helmets and weaving in and out of the lane endangered themselves. I had to slow down to a crawl not to hit them. I did want to stop and EDUCATE them on how to ride properly and why wearing a helmet can save your life, but never once did I think running them off the road was an appropriate action.

As I said, I am generally lucky and people here favorably see bikers (thankfully), but I don't understand why it is EVER okay to get that angry. This guy obviously has an issue with himself. And now, once more, he is allowed to take it out on another human being - whether than be in a car, a bike, a scooter, runner, etc. Not okay. When will the laws finally be enforced?
