Illegal Pass
Channel: StoryOfBike
Date: 14/10/2011

Must be something about people in gray BMWs. I finally broke down and equipped my bike with cameras after a person in a completely different gray BMW made a similar (but even more dangerous) pass, along this same stretch of road.

We start out waiting at a red light. It turns green, and he tailgates me all the way through the intersection (violation of RCW 46.61.145(1)).

Then he passes, but uses the on-coming traffic's left-turn lane (violation of RCW 46.61.130(2)) rather than waiting for the (legally dubious) two-way turn lane.

As if that weren't enough, he does not bother to even get all the way out of the lane in which I'm traveling, never mind pass at a safe distance (violation of RCW 46.61.110(2)).

Oh yeah, did I mention? Didn't even bother to signal (violation of RCW 46.61.305(2)).
