On my way to work this morning I am making a right turn off of 1st avenue onto 96th street to get on the FDR. There are three lanes at that etrance. Middle and left lane are straight lanes to enter the FDR going north, and the right lane is a right turn lane to enter going south.
As I always do I make my right turn directly into the middle lane and prepare to stop at the light, and eventually get on the FDR northbound and begin my commute. All of a sudden some numb nuts old dude apparently thinks he can scoot past me from the left lane or something and hits the side of my bike. My all metal bar end rear view scrapes nearly the entirety of the rigth side of his car, at which point he finally realizes that I am there and that the idiotic move he tried to pull is a fail and he stops.
I wasn't knocked off the bike and there is no damage, just got a little jostled, recovered, and when he stopped I pulled ahead and stopped at the light.
I almost couldnt believe how moronic this guy was and it was just one of those mornings that reminded me of the idiocy of society. I turned, raised my arms so as to ask "WTF are you doing??!" to which he didnt respondd but just stared blankly ahead like a deer caught in the headlights. I then waited for the light to turn green, promptly gave him the finger, and went on my way.
Unbelieveable..
