Undertaking will always be dangerous

I sometimes use a farcility when biking along a very busy main road.
This is one of these abominable "shared use" (pedestrian/bicycle) paths,
which is right next to the road (cars must cross the farcility in order
to find a park).
A couple of days ago I was biking at reasonable speed down this when I
saw a car coming towards me on the road, with his signal on indicating
he wanted to turn in front of me into a parking space. He obviously saw
me, as he slowed down, thinking (probably correctly) that I had the
right of way.
But I was thinking, this is a main road, lots of high speed traffic,
no slowing-down lane. It is totally dangerous for him to be stopped on
the main road at imminent risk of being rammed up the backside, just to
let a bicyclist past.
So I slowed and signalled for him to get off the road in front of me.
Did I do wrong?



Yes.

It started when you got on a child's toy.

Why do people insult others?

Most people who insult other people are insecure. They think that it will
make them feel better if they put someone else down, or they insult the
other person to take attention off of themselves. Sometimes people who
are angry insult other people because they are not mature enough to think
of a different way to handle their anger except to try to start a fight
or to try to make the other person feel bad.

Of course. And if you will please give me the honour of being
destructive, dumb, evasive, double-talking, devious, revisionist, and
narrow I would be extremely ecstatic.
Oh, and please open your mouth.
