WTF! What's wrong with these cops' brains? Someone like that shouldn't work as a police officer.

Did you report the police to the police? I went into SPD West Precinct to ask for some advice on this annoying Hellcat driver in Belltown. They rolled their eyes several times at me. This Hellcat driver had been waking up literally thousands of people every night at 2 am cruising through downtown, often times even going 60 mph. It took Bob Kettle's office reaching out to SPD for them to take it seriously. Im pro police and think they play an important role in the community, but holy shit SPD has a long was to go to gain respect. Unreal.

Is the cop trying to save face by asking why you aren’t in the bike lane or do they really think cyclists can only use the bike lane? What about the illegal right turn? I think they need to have lights on in order to do stuff like that. Likely was not an emergency because they rolled down the window to talk to you.

I'm sure you analyze these incidents from all possible angles after they happen and are pretty hard on yourself. Let it be reiterated that yes, it would be better to change out of the bike lane before (and not in) the intersection when you're needing to set up a left turn for the next intersection. ~_~

Thank you, you are absolutely correct that I do always analyze my own actions and am extremely hard on myself. I'll admit that because I'd made this lane change this way hundreds of times before without issue, perhaps I entered this situation with a faulty assumption that cars nearby me would correctly assume where I would be placing myself. BUT: as was taught to me in driving school: "you cannot assume that anyone around you knows your intentions. Be ready for them."

Stirred up the hornet's nest with this one. Mind you, cycling always does.. Is it my imagination or is the cop straddling the lanes or even all the way in the right turn lane at the first intersection? Hard to tell with the fixed camera. How did they intend you to turn left up there, anyway? Does the cycle lane get a green period before the car lanes, or do they expect you to cross, stop on the other side, and gun it over when the lights change?

@SaltySeattleCyclist

4 ай бұрын

There is no real way to turn left up there, other than to go across, do a weird little 270° turn-around (there's not even a bike lane or bike box there to wait in) and wait for the next green on 7th Ave. I'm not going to wait through two light cycles when I go through one!

Cop: why are you not in the bike lane? You: Because I’m turning left right here 6 seconds later same cop turns right on a no turn on red I’m surprised you didn’t chase after that cop after that cop turned right on red and asked “ why did you turn on red? It was clearly a no turn on red. “

I guess a stop sign is more of a suggestion to entitled bicyclists in Washington... It was the cop's turn if you actually obeyed the stop sign just like the cop did. Then you decide to cut across the intersection before clearing it creating the incident. Had you just yielded for 2 seconds you could have continued on. Instead, you tried to play F Around/ Find Out with a SUV on a bicycle. Right or wrong, you risk death or never walking again by being aggressive on a bike... Edit: Then again, the comments the cops made sure were inspiring for those who are supposed to protect us...

They even included in their report that the officer wasn't properly logged into their system at the time. They weren't headed to a call, no lights or sirens were on even if they were, she was busy sipping her coffee while making a turn and not watching her surroundings. She was setting a TERRIBLE example of how to drive responsibly.
