Video shows a bicyclist's journey down a residential street, to an elementary school, next to a bike lane full of parked cars and trucks.

We were approaching an all way stop on our way home from school. The driver heading toward us was already at the stop sign, so we stopped to wait to make our left turn. But the driver just sat there. They might have been trying to wave us through, but there was a glare on their windshield, so we couldn't be sure. So we did what we always do - we waited our turn. Finally the driver went, and then we entered there intersection at the correct time. But the driver behind the first car was clearly annoyed at having to wait, and tried to sneak through despite us clearly having the right-of-way.

It's incredibly dangerous when drivers try and wave cyclists through. We see hazards they've never dreamed of, and we know it's never worth the risk.

This is one of the many reasons stopping at stop signs puts cyclists in greater jeopardy than rolling through them.

Bicycle-mounted video showing a cyclist stopping at a stop sign, then making a left turn. A few seconds later, the cyclist stops at another stop sign, signalling another left turn, but is aggressively passed on the left by the driver of a right-turning car that had been tailgating the cyclist.

Bicycle handlebar cam video of a narrow neighborhood street. Ahead of the bicycle is a Prime truck, parked facing traffic. As the bicycle approaches from the rear, the Prime truck begins driving down the road in the left lane (we drive on the right here), and then with no warning, swerves to the right side of the road (nearly cutting off the bicyclist) before making an unsignalized left turn into a driveway.

A montage of various ways drivers showed us they could care less if our kids survive childhood, made from footage collected from my handlebar camera over the past school year (August 2023-June 2024). Some NSFW language.

There's a construction crew working on a road on our route to school. The presence of their flagperson has somehow caused drivers to completely forget how to drive.

My kid had just been describing the crap driving she'd had to navigate on her bike ride home from school the day before, when the driver of this silver 4-runner ignored our left turn signals and passed us as we were positioning ourselves for a left turn. It was a good teaching moment, but also, it's exhausting. Every day, she has to deal with at least half a dozen incidents like this, where adult drivers simply DGAF, and kids have to figure out for themselves how to not get killed.

A sample of clips from my bike camera showing the variety of ways drivers pretend not to see my kid and me on our way to and from school. All of the clips are from the same intersection. Most of the clips are of a car passing us on the left as we are about to turn left.

Today I nearly got right hooked by the driver of a black Jeep who couldn't be bothered to wait half a second and turn behind me, instead of overtaking and turning in front of me. The squealing sound is my brakes.

A selection of dangerously close and/or ill-timed passes executed by motorists, as caught on my bike camera. Mild language (relative to the danger imposed on me, that is).
