Yeah, by the time they clue in the horn it's too late anyway.

Besides there are cultures where sound of horns are simply ignored.

I seriously think some people think when they turn at an intersection they get both lanes.
This is when they are turning left or right. lol

It is probably too easy to get a driver's licence in Canada. At least in Ontario there is no requirement to have any instruction, just "experience".

Show up, take test, exit a menace to society. There should be mandatory instruction or equivalent.

True, just makes sense. Countries like Germany who are serious about driver training have low accident rates.

So...

I am out riding today, and get passed 200m from where this video was taken. The black SUV that passes me comes within 1 ft and speeds down the road, and makes this exact same turn, except that they turn into the proper lane this time.

Who was it? CHYJ 164. I think it is just me they don't like.

Again, I was on my bike, so no video. But...why me?

you should ride on the path just parallel to where you were
nice day for a ride, I was out on the trails today as well. I don't like to ride on the road as I don't trust the texters/drivers.
