I always hate it when a driver can't wait for a biker to clear the intersection, but turns into it as I'm in the intersection or just approaching it. This has happened before on Broadway, but last time it was a police vehicle:
If you watch closely you can see this guy pull out into the intersection, and then slow down as he starts to turn. I think he knew what he was doing. When I caught up with him at the light at Monroe, I asked him "didn't you see me?". He said "Oh I thought you were over to the side more". Well, I was over a little bit more than usual. Still, it's unnerving to have a large vehicle turn towards you or in your direction no matter where you are on the road.
He was in business type clothes. I'm always surprised by the number of people who use those 1/2 or 3/4 ton trucks as their daily commuters.
P.S. That annoying clicking noise in the video is just a lack of grease in the head tube or steering tube or somewhere in that vicinity which has thankfully been corrected now.
