Yesterday I was riding my scooter and was run off the road on Penn Avenue near Bloomfield, a one-lane, after a driver tried to pass me from the to the right turn lane. They proceeded to speed ahead, then brake check me, followed by veering as close to the curb as possible to get me to crash. Unfortunately I could not get their license plate number, but this is far from the first time I’ve been brake checked or followed in the bike lane by someone who tried to take an illegal turn ahead of me and was upset when I shook my head in a “tsk tsk” manner.

Pedestrians are hit every day, too, despite some progress made by Vision Zero. It’s just very apparent how angry and impatient many Pittsburgh drivers are.
