Yep that’s who has licenses to drive in this state folks. I commute 20 miles each way to work and have been doing so for about 5 years now. It’s much worse in places like Saugus or Revere when you’re the only cyclist on a road. In Boston if a car purposely tries to scare you, there is a chance you can catch him or at least get his plate number. Out here people come too close go too fast and sometime purposely try to scare me and then race off. Nothing I can do even if they mow me down like this lady believes it’s her right to do. This happens on Lincoln Rd in Lynn and Revere for example. I for one yearn for gas prices to hit 15 dollars a gallon. That way, jerks like this lady can’t drive a machine that can easy kill someone or <I><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">worse</SPAN></I>. The <I><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">worse</SPAN></I> is if a car hits me and I’m paralised my wife’s life and my child’s life is also ruined when the bank takes our house. What a miserable lady. I don’t care what cyclist cut her off or anything else that a cyclist did to piss her off, it doesn’t give her the right to ruin someone’s life. </SPAN></FONT></div>
