Todays driving encounter...

I can see valid complaint at the 1:15 mark - but if anything, I'd argue you cut the driver off that you state cut you off. You were following that driver all until the :42 mark, you don't signal and go around and then quickly jump in front and brake.
Heck, aside from not crossing solid yellow lines, you did exactly what another guy did to you at the 1:15 mark.
 
you guys didn't see the car coming from the left side at the :42 mark ? I was talking about the car to left of me not the car in front.

Its actually hard to see because the mirror is there
 
Now I do. It was very easy to miss, camera barely caught it. I was wondering why it appeared you were straddling in-between the two lanes instead of committing at first.


Welcome to driving? Also: welcome to NYC?
Those seem like mild offenses compared to what I've experienced even in city's that are TINY compared to NYC.
 
its a weird angle intersection... u almost need to go straight and turn left to go straight. If the bus had continued on and I didn't turn left, I would slam into it

Anyway, I usually only encounter this once a day, today was nice.. I had the mic turn down but the first guy was honking like crazy. I don't drive like a maniac because I have a 1yr old in the car. Last thing I need is a fender bender with the kid on a freezing night

More fun today, some guy decided that he doesn't need to stop for the school bus with flashing lights, went around me.

Another guy flew pass a 4 way stop sign. If these people are in such a rush, wake up earlier.
