Bionic Teutonic

This morning on my way to work, a car in the lane to the right of my bus decided that it needed to make a left hand turn, across two lanes of traffic and right in front of us, as we were pulling out of the bus stop. We come screeching to a halt and the driver must have been paying too much attention to the bus to notice that there were still people in the cross walk and she managed to hit both a pedestrian AND a biker. It didn’t look like anybody was seriously hurt, but damn, way to not pay attention to what’s going on around you. I can’t tell you how often I have had to bang on the hoods of cars while on my bike just so they don’t run me over. Then again, at least our traffic is (usually) a little more sane than this.
