unclear to me.


Cars were stacked up for at least two blocks at the light, but did not
block the intersection, allowing the driver to turn left. She was not
watching for the biker, who had the right of way. Still and all, I
don't think I would have wanted to go as fast as he did when to the
right of stopped traffic.

I could probably get myself hit this way once a week if I pushed it.
Massachusetts drivers are really quite considerate when it comes to
giving someone a break, assuming they're good and stuck anyway. The
drivers so advantaged don't waste a lot of time squeezing in.


We are in agreement there. Plus I would be expecting a left turning vehicle because of the traffic density. And these people normally try and rush through the intersection because they are frustrated with the traffic.
