Over the past 3-4 days I have experienced a noticeable uptick in drivers making erratic or distracted decisions behind the wheel that have resulted in a couple close calls for myself or others. These have all taken place in SE and along well established biking routes and in busy bike/pedestrian areas.
Examples of some of the driving I have seen:

• Truck hit a parked car and ran.
• Car blew a stop sign and nearly hit me.
• Truck made a left turn on a busy street, cutting me off and nearly hitting an oncoming car.
• Myself and another person walking across a controlled cross walk and a car missing us by less than 5 feet.
• Cars pulling out into oncoming bike traffic.
• Cars generally driving fast and aggressive on residential roads.

Just posting as a reminder to stay vigilant out there and check your intersections.
