If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

It's true. It took 10 years for CSA leaders to retake control and put up statues of traitors. Hitler rose because Germans didn't take to peace.
I'm afraid to see what it will take to convince every American of our mistakes.

The bike lane confuses bad drivers so let me explain: a car is not allowed to turn in front a cyclist. That's failure to yield the right of way and unsafe lane change.
This confuses bad drivers because they haven't read the driving handbook about this.

I wrote about a similar situation, which my experience saved me that time. In both cases better driving and infrastructure is the solution.
Even if a rider chose to ride in most deferential way to cars, they still could be hit.

The vid Katie13 posted is a driver from a dead stop makes an unsignaled right while the rider at speed.

My thought is I expect drivers to hit me and I might have slowed at that intersection. But the driver is 100% at fault. There was no decision to yield or not. Experience is not the cause.

sped to get past a rider in a lane then turned right in front of him. Maybe I would have read this; probably not and neither would any other rider. A half second reaction time is tantamount to a crash.

There was no choice to yield or not; a driver put a rider in danger and there wasn't a good move

If I had braked hard to yield to this bad driver maybe I would skidded out. I did something I would not recommend; while I braked, I stayed close to the car so the driver knew I was there. The driver did brake when she realized she could not get around me.

I saw a vid today where a driver 2/

I'll jump in here as an experienced cyclist that arguing that experience is the answer to bicycle safety is single vision.
Once I was descending in a bike lane when a car came along side. It was matching my speed of 35 and edging over: I correctly read the driver was going to turn in front of me 1/

btw I gave a bad (but the sarcasm was somewhat evident) online review to my favorite Oakland dive. My drinking partners asked me why, and I said I don't want people who select dive bars via reviews coming here.

9/9. I'm not so good with football trivia but 8 of my picks were the most popularly chosen players. With my sports I know better, I try for the least known players.

I'm a writer which is why I've fantasized about society's collapse, not building a underground shelter.
However, unless resources are completely depleted, we'll likely see the have and have-nots. We're only 3-4 law changes from having private armies. The US has moved on from Jalisco for example

Specifically from SF, I find our national politicians are have huge behind the scenes connections and can't use popular movements.
I don't think it is a good thing but no one has come close to upsetting these pols. It can happen, ie AOC, but not in SF.

I think the NFLPA are easy graders. C is not the lowest grade out last year's coaches.
