See me? The lady in the Tesla turning left from Central onto Hamilton in Campbell apparently couldn’t. Or she thought that as a Tesla, she had right of way when turning left on a green when no other vehicle would.

Still mad about this. I screamed and stopped because it was the logical thing to do to stay alive, but instead of giving me the “oh! sorry!” and waiting for me to carry on, she looked me in the eye and turned in front of me anyway. F*** You.

Jesus Christ, I almost got taken out by another Tesla this morning. Broad daylight, flashing lights, neon helmet and jacket, tall bike, riding in a green bike lane. Tesla tried to turn through me. I swear my instinct to scream, loudly, when I perceive a threat is the only reason I’m still standing. I hope the driver is shaking as hard as I was, whether from the close call or me shouting at her.

@lorihc those damn Teslas. If it’s not the crappy “auto pilot” system it’s the damn cocky driver. 😤😡🤬 I’d say “be safe out there” but seems like you’re already doing all you can. :-/

@lorihc damn!! They’re a menace. Good to hear you managed to scream loud enough to stop her!!

@lorihc Glad you are ok!! Tesla’s really miss having the blind spot light near the mirrors.. and ultrasonic sensors to make them work properly.
