Almost got hit in Astoria today

Riding southbound on 31st street between 34th/35th ave when this asshat in a white Honda swerves into a PROTECTED bike lane in front of me to pull into a driveway or something. Obviously doesn't look, bc why bother, doesn't hear me yell, " YO WATCH THE FUCK OUT!" causing me to swerve into the curb. I was lucky to unclip in time. At this point she notices me, so I ride in front of her and start wilin out on her.

I ride down to the corner of 35th ave, stop, look around, and this chick is FULL ON DRIVING IN THE BIKE LANE BEHIND ME. At this point I realize she wasn't turning into a driveway, she's trying to get around the traffic in front of her. Light turns, she has the nerve to make a motion like, "yo, could you just go?" This is where I snapped a pic and parked my ass up and made her squeeze between me and the subway track girder.

It's hot and reckless out there folks, stay frosty.
