So, travelling north on a pretty big street (Sepulveda, in North Hills) I was in the #1 lane and a guy who was going in the same direction in the #2 lane moved over into my lane and almost stopped! Then he (without signaling) cranked his wheel and started to do a slow illegal U-turn in the turn lane! I couldn't go right due to other cars or stop so in an instant I threw the bike over to take a hard left around him and I just held on and I barely cleared him. I literally lifted my leg and made it. Had to go A LITTLE into oncoming traffic but luckily no one was there. And I was blowing the horn as I passed. I don't know how I pulled off the horn during all that...
I then of course was irate and was lifting my left arm motioning 'WTF' !!!! Asshole flips a bitch and continues on his way...
I then turned around when I could because I had to educate that guy. He turned a couple of times and then ended up in a large parking lot. Dude knew I was after him. I come up next to him on his side and he stops and roles down his window. Right next to him, I start in: "DUDE, YOU CAN'T DO THAT! I COULD'VE BEEN KILLED!'' He replied that he didn't see me and I continued that he needed to use his mirrors. I continued and explained that YOU CANNOT TURN FROM THE MIDDLE LANE!!!! It was hard not to be TOO threatening but whatever.
After that, I took off and as shaken up as I was, forgot that I was about to stop for gas and of course, I ran out. Perfect!
Called the wife, she came and picked me up. Live to ride another day.
