Almost Killed by Motorist!

Last night, on my way home from class, I was hit by an oblivious moron of a motorist. I was riding down Ravenna, heading West. For those who know this road, 11th is a one-way heading North, and Roosevelt is a one-way heading South.

I pulled up to a red light at 11th and Ravenna, I stopped, and pulled a little further ahead of the line than a red 4-runner in the lane to my right, to make sure they saw my two bright ass blinking red lights. The light turned green, we both left the line, halfway down the block, the next light, at Roosevelt and Ravenna, the light turned green, so I picked up pace, the 4-runner slowed down, and right as I was about to go through the intersection, without signaling, from the right lane (not a left turn lane!) decided to sporadically turn left and cause me to slam into her driver’s side door! What the fuck is wrong with people! This lady decided to not roll down her window, or jump out to see if i was okay, instead she decided to stare down at her steering wheel like she was the victim here! I should have written down her license plate and given her all hell, but I didn’t, I was in too much shock, thinking that if I was going 1 mph faster, I would have been pavement.

How the hell did this lady not see me!

Glad to be alive today …
