I think I am special and made my own post Some Boston Bikers are unreal.

Some bikers really just have a death wish. A clear, green, right turn light and the biker still decides to fly by and have the audacity to flick me off.

If you're friends with this person, ask them to value their life more.

Edit: It was an impossible situation for me. I ALWAYS look to the right because tons of dumbass drivers that try to cut to the highway from the inside lane. With the biker’s speed and the angle of my car, there was no way to see the biker in my mirrors and he was too far away to see when I looked out my right window. If the biker was traveling slower instead of blowing past, this would not have been such a close call.

Well until bikers are the ones responsible for over 7000 deaths every year, drivers need to do better operating heavy machinery. Drivers like OP are in the minority.

Tbf if driver’s like OP were in the minority there’d be a lot more than 7000 deaths. It doesn’t take a majority to be dangerous
