Idiot Car Drivers #2 - the right hook

The right hook

Urban high pedestrian area. im in a bike lane going 18mph. Car comes up behind me toots horn then immediately passes me and turns to the right just yards in front of me to get on a side street. I slam on the brakes, near T bone into car, almost over the handlebars.

Idiot car drivers #1

this is gonna happen soon

Getting fed up with idiot car drivers. This last week has had quite a few incidents. This am for example riding to work. Turned onto the small narrow country road with a few blind corners, speed limit 25, I'm riding 28,29 slight downhill, car comes up behind me, lays on the horn, passes me on a blind curve at I would guess about 40.
