These idiots in cars are a public nuisance. I know lots of responsible car drivers but the vast number in downtown DC are ignoring traffic lights, stop signs, right of way, road sharing, etc.
Slam on the brakes to avoid hitting oblivious SUV drivers distracted by their cell phones, and they scream obscenities and "flip" crude gestures.
They should be required to be educated about cycling on the city streets and be held accountable for their lawless behavior.
My sympathy to the poor kid trying to maneuver through the mess....
