Additional notes
+ (JonathanW) I was riding in the bike lane through an intersection when I had a green light. A car turned into me as I was riding past. The driver did not use a turn signal and was clearly unaware of my presence even though I had passed the car and it had passed me for several blocks. Car turned into me and left me lying in the street, then sped away leaving me lying in the road. Minor scrapes to me and my bike. Did not file a police report because I was in shock and didn't get a license plate number.
