Years ago when I was cycling home from work in NYC, a driver cut from the middle of 1st avenue and across the bright green bike lane to make a left turn.

Before we could compose ourselves, being in a jumble on the ground, she got back into her car and drove off. I was equal parts shocked and impressed by her. But she was definitely the sort of a-hole who makes cycling a more dangerous endeavor.
