hey you, yeah you, the douche who kept honking his horn at me and then continued to cuss at me profusely when I, on my bike, happened to be in the left-turning lane on the oxford-coburg intersection. THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO DO. what, do you expect me to keep to the right, to the side of the road, and then turn left??? learn the f*cking traffic rules!!! as a bicyclist I’m allowed (if not required!) to be in the left-turning lane. what the hell is your problem?! you only embarrassed yourself by continuing to yell&cuss at me in the king’s quad. We could’ve had a normal talk, time for me to explain what you obviously are too dumb to know, but no, you had to give me the finger. go to hell.

You are allowed to be in the left turning lane…surely you will have to turn left at some point? While in the left turn lane though a cyclist should not be in the middle of the lane but to the right side of that left turning lane.
No, then a car could think you are going straight and sneak by to your left.
Why would the driver of a car think you were going straight when you are in the LEFT tunring lane AND signaling to turn left? Oh yeah, most cyclists don’t bother with signaling.
My experiences have shown that well behaved cyclists do indeed signal their intentions. This bitch is valid in the sense that the cyclist did all that he / she could do given the circumstances. As for the driver of the vehicle, go fuck yourself you road rager. You give all us all a bad name.
Theres a lot of people in Halifax that need to go back to driving school. Hopefully these fucktards will have an explosive heart attack and die a slow painful death from all their rage and negativity.
