I was sitting in my car and a driver clipped the mirror and drove off. Boy am I glad police are busy ticketing cyclists rather than the awful drivers. Who voted for this? Maybe 700K towards ticketing drivers for something other than speeding (i.e. texting, cutting people off to run them off of the road, or driving in the breakdown lane on MoPac) would be more productive.
