I went out for a ride today, and on my way home I was stopped at a T intersection (with stop lights). The street I wanted to turn onto is a busy road. Especially at the hour I was there because of all the kids being picked up from school. Anywho, I'm first in line waiting to turn left. 1 turn signal cycle goes by... Then another... Did the whole kickstand routine. Another goes by... I look in my mirrors and see about 15 cars behind me. Another cycle goes by... Now, I'm sure we're all used to cagers getting on our arse when we're at a light. Not this time... I turn around and see the car behind me is like 2 car lengths away! Not even close to the indicators that trigger the lights. I notice they were two older ladies in a Mercedes SUV. I try to wave them forward, also pointing down at the indicators in front of them. I get the shoulder shrug back. I was tempted to hop off the bike and walk up to them to tell them to pull up so the light can be triggered, but I didn't want to scare the old ladys into thinking a biker was gonna car jack them... Maybe she would have gunned it and run over my bike. She was keeping her distance as it was.

So I thought, "F it..." Chuckling to myself as I made a right instead and rode off. Usually I get the tailgaters. Today was a totally different experience...
