Enraging (yet common) bike lane encounter

Taking their half out of the middle


This is a tame incident compared to many, but it was worth sharing. The (very old) man driving this SUV was clearly looking for somewhere to park and didn’t care about the bike lane. The driver had been hugging the bike lane even before the right-hand turn shown in the video, but that’s when things really started going wrong.

What would you have done in this situation? How should we address this in public policy? Certainly more bikes on the street helps. I’m curious what else.
