Oblivious Drivers

Monday evening I wanted to commute home on the bike from the new office. It is located on Capital Circle, one of the busiest roads in Tallahassee. I thought that I would be OK in the bike lane, since any driver would recognize that the lane if off limits to them. Well, by now you have guessed where this is going. Some girl, not paying attention to what she was doing, cut me off while making a right hand turn off of Capital Circle. I layed into the brakes hard, and tried to make an instaturn. Still, there was a slight collision. I was just scratched, and I thought the bike was OK. Well, now the bike is in the shop and I am mad. I should have, and if it happens again, phoned the cops. I can't believe how little attention people pay to driving. The law should take away people's cars when they do something stupid. Maybe that will correct some of the problems we have on the roads.
