Letter to Editor: Distracted, Impaired and Impatient Drivers Put Us All at Risk

Recently, within ten minutes, I was nearly hit twice while riding my bicycle in Easton. On North Aurora Street, a driver honked aggressively behind me and then passed with about six inches to spare. Maryland law requires drivers to give a person on a bicycle at least three feet when passing, and if there is no bike lane or shoulder, cyclists can “take the lane”. Six inches is not a judgment call. It is a near miss with a 4,000-pound car. And it gained her nothing: when she parked at her location, I pulled up just 15 seconds behind her. She put my life at risk to save a quarter of a minute.
