Not just motorcycles, but pedestrians too.
I had an incident two days ago. I am making a left hand turn at the intersection near my house.
A pedestrian is crossing the street, so I am waiting. I am not in the intersection yet.
The car behind me whips out on my right, like he's going to pass and cross the intersection. Instead, he nearly plows down the woman who is crossing. As I notice he's starting to swing wide and make a left turn, I blow my horn. It makes the woman turn around to look. If she had not turned around, she would have been mowed down flat.
I make my left turn, and when I reach the point of passing him, he shoots into my lane, nearly taking off my bumper...
He does this multiple times when I try to pass him.
