This happened last week, but I'm still pretty pissed about it.
This driver went through a red light at full speed as I was already in the intersection.
When I review the video of the incident, they had a red light for FIVE SECONDS before running it. The sun was NOT in their eyes, and it would have been very clear that I was riding through (high-viz everything).
It's infuriating to read about cyclists being disproportionately punished, while this kind of behaviour by motorists is normalized.
Had I been on an ebike, I would have been smoked 100%. My cautious start off the light is the only reason why I wasn't in their path.
Unfortunately, due to their high rate of speed and the angle of the plates, I couldn't even report this to police.
Jesus, I think about how bad the US is bad for pedestrians and cyclists and then somehow Canada manages to swoop it at the end of every day. For whatever it's worth, I'm wishing you well. Have you considered joining or starting a local Strong Towns chapter? They're a policy advocacy group focused on making cities places for humans again, and I've had nothing but great experiences with them.
