Crossed Canyon and Farmington with little trouble and was making a left onto First from the left lane of Watson. On First, making a left is a Green minivan piloted by an apparently blind woman, perhaps 60 - 70 years old.
She comes to a complete stop, and lets a large SUV by in the right hand lane. I am now not 5 feet from her, and completely across front bumper when she starts to go. Despite being sure I'd be hit, she slammed to a stop after only moving a foot or two, glared and muttered to herself, in apparent disgust with the crazy person on the bike.
My lane positioning could have been a bit wider, and perhaps given her a better sightline, and I'm not lit up like K'tesh, but damn! I could see every wrinkle in her face through the front windshield, I hope she could see the bike 5 feet away!
