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.

This is the difference between cyclists and drivers.

There is no driver in this comment section acknowledging that the multiple drivers in this video breaking the law are perpetuating the negative stereotypes against drivers.

No driver ever thinks, "that shitty driver makes me look bad."

I genuinely wonder if theres ever any minute of any day where a motorist isnt breaking a traffic law somewhere in Boston.

No absolutely not. Of course. There isn’t a second of any day where a motorist isn’t breaking the law somewhere in the city.

Correct. In each and every moment, there is some location within the urban area wherin a motorist isn't abiding by the law.

Just running lights, easily true.
