Motorists straight up don't know the laws of the road, and they won't care to learn them until it starts biting them in the ass. Nearly being struck as a pedestrian or a cyclist is basically a daily experience now. Crosswalks? Fuck that. No turn on red? Fuck that. Staying off the phone? Fuck that.

A favorite was when a guy nearly ran me over me with an illegal u-y and then had the gall to roll down his window and calmly tell me I shouldn't be on roads without bike lanes. Motherfucker, do even you know the law? I wanna get section 11B printed on business cards and hand them out like candy- but I know eventually I'm gonna run into a guy who's car is a stand in for his whole identity, and he'll be the dude who tries to kill me instead of merely threatening it.

>or don't turn their headlights on at all

See this so often it barely registers now, but Monday(?) night I saw a cop doing it and that really got my attention.

Reminds me of the two boomers on Charles St. who asked me if I thought I was tough when I said "excuse me, you're in the bike lane", and then threatened to knock me off my bike. In the south, they'd be called good ole boys, but I have yet find a New England equivalent.
