re: I almost killed a cyclist

Cyclists are supposed to be considered cars/trucks for the purposes of observing traffic laws.

That might be true in most states, but they seem to have far greater liberties than cars and trucks in this one.

This close incident was a lesson for both of us, I guess. Even though the law is stupid and very dangerous for him, I need to signal then pause in the street, even if it means pissing off cars behind me, to make sure I don't wipe out some idiot who's operating within a stupid law.
