Damn left hand turners and their right of way violations. As a motorcyclist you learn to fear it.
I'll contribute another left hand turn from yesterday. Watch the tow truck driver on the left side of the frame. Tow truck drivers are some of the most dangerous commercial drivers in NYC, routinely violating red lights, stop signs, making u turns as below, passing in oncoming traffic, tailgating, speeding and generally driving like assholes. In their defense they seem talented at doing so, and I suppose the job weeds out the bad ones pretty swiftly. I don't even consider this example as dangerous as it appears because, while violating some laws and my right of way, he maintained good awareness and control.
Also, you will notice the image is foggy. Not sure why. Will try cleaning the lens but I suspect it' s a problem and might require a replacement lens. Has happened to others.
