   18-inch close pass from a lady in a Tesla.
   Me: you passed me way too close
   Her: you need to share the road!!!! You need to ride close to the side!!!

   Write this on my tombstone when the next asshole kills me:

   YOU DO NOT NEED TO STAY TO THE RIGHT WHEN THE LANE IS TOO NARROW TO SHARE

     This is like an everyday normal thing, but it always shocks me how callous people are. She passed me that close on purpose, to teach me a lesson, and does not care AT ALL that it scared me and could have hurt me. She is driving a death machine and she thinks she is right.

     I caught up to her at the light (obviously, it's a Friday afternoon in Toronto and #CarsRuinCities) and said "you shouldn't be driving if you don't know the rules." She told me I was wrong and drove away, I stood on the sidewalk and cried from frustration and rage.
