    Yeah, people are so retarded, only 20% of the people out there actually know what that skinny stalk is on the left side of their steeringwheel. Or the idiots think you're suppose to signal AFTER you start changing lanes, not actually as a warning.

    Re: One for Grim

    I said that woulda pissed me off... Im not quite sure why you think that it is some horrible flying off the handle uncontrollable raging psychotic reaction that would cause a person to have a heart attack.

    I don't get nearly as mad as MG did in the vid. I might have honked and threw my left arm out to demonstrate that they should signal next time.

    Re: One for Grim

    Sorry to break it to you fellas, but you're wrong here. The sign next to the Prius (for the left lane) says left on Youngsfield only. The middle lane, you can go straight AND turn left onto Youngsfield. Plus, follow the lines on the road, he was crossing into MY lane. The right turn lane can either go into the middle or the right lane. The left turn lane needs to stay in the left lane, so suck it.

    No, I was talking about getting mad enough to switch lanes, ride super close to the offending car, flip them off then blast though an intersection. Then take the time to upload it to youtube.

I assume your blinker was on indicating your desire to make the R-H-T, but instead of staying in either the L-middle or R-iddle lanes, [left of the Red vehicle that also turned right] (and also who didn't turn to their innermost...), you seem to want to occupy the outermost lane, which is rightfully the black cars; as they are making a L-H-T into their innermost lane. And yes, I do realize that both the lane you were in, and the lane to your left can go straight, and maybe it was their "bad" assumption that you were turning (instead of maybe having a false blinker), but still... once the turns were initiated and all parties began going, the last lanes you should have been close to, are the ones next to that black car.

    I'm beginning to see a trend here....
    In that one, if I had been going straight, which you can do from that lane, she would have hit me. So I had the right of way, which is why I honked at her dumbass.

    Ahh, well that explains it, it's a weird one for sure, if you can't see the preliminary direction signs.

    Even if I did go all the way to the right, he was still trying to get all the way to the right, from the left turn lane. If he wanted to turn right onto Youngsfield, the dumbass needed to be in the right turn lane.

    And I honked at EVO bitch because she just pushed her way in. If she had signaled and waited, I would have let her in. But she just squeezed her way in. "Objects in wide angle gopro are closer than they appear".

    I always assume everyone is out to try and kill me on the bike. Hell, I even think like this in the cage, and it's kept me outta a few wrecks. Stay diligent out there.

    Let's look at the aerial view shall we?

    http://maps.google.com/maps?q=I-70+%...179.23,,0,4.98

    Can't quite read that sign, it may say "Left Turn on Youngfield Only"

    From the air the leftmost turn lane clearly feeds into the left turn only lane, while the right hand turn lane feeds into the center turn/through lane.

    I used to take this interchange a lot while I was working on that side of town.

    Re: One for Grim

    I go through that intersection a lot, unfortunately. I know how it works there.

    It's like people turning left at the 1st intersection from eastbound I-70 onto northbound Kipling, even though there's a sign there saying that it's not allowed. Drives me nuts. Sometimes, when I'm in the cage, I'll turn right from the light and block fuckers trying to turn left at the light from the merge lane.

    So if you read that it says... "Complete your turn in the lane closest to you on your side of the street. And always follow the solid white lones in intersections using multiple turn lanes." Things that make you go hmmmmm.
