Yep, people are nuts. I just had a woman today run a stop sign and almost T-bone me. Never even slowed down for the stop sign, just right through it, locking up the brakes inches from me at the last second.
I really dont know how these people get their licenses.

Put a helmet camera, record all your trips and send such cases to the local traffic police dept.

I have had ( censored ) yell at me am I am speeding instead of creeping up a hill with a parade of cars behind me . I have had several break their necks to pass me at highway speeds . I guess peebrains can not handle a moped outrunning them LOL . I love the play " You aint passing me " and I speed up to see how fast they really want to go .
Best advice I can tell you is to keep your distance from cars , ride in defense mode like everyone is a drunkard . If you have a slow scooter yield and wave for cagers to ride on so they will not be a threat or mess up one fun . If you have a fast scooter like me I jack rabbit at green lights in order to put distance between me and cars instead of being among them |

I never thought of a helmet cam...good idea....also when I do take off like that trying to get away from the cars usually the car next to me will take it upon themselves to push the pedal to the metal and zoom past me but at least it doesnt happen every time I guess lol

I be ridin' along earlier yesterday and did some filtering at a stop light. Sure enough, just as I thought would happen if I decided to filter, a disgruntled lady in her SUV was cursing at me (or some jibberish w her window half down,) as she passed by..
ugh

I live in the houston area and man is it rough, I've only had one close call on scooter, but people want to cut my truck off like they have a death wish. I locked up my brakes 2 weeks ago cuz some lady likeinuyasha said, use the see technique. Helps

I just bought a "eyecord" brand sunglasses with camera that records in 720P - have yet to try it but it runs for hour and a half which is more than what I drive on a daily basis. Might be good insurance, but my bike is more than capable of keeping up with traffic.
