Yes, it's poor judgment to pass cars at intersections like this on a bike, but that doesn't give drivers carte blanche to right hook cyclists. I posted the link and video because it appears to show the driver not signalling their turn despite what they claim in the title, and they later updated to say WRPS told them the cyclist was 100% at fault along with the nonsense about helmet laws.
At this point, it's basically a reflex.
By the way, how does one even ride then? Given I was hit by a driver who overtook me and turned right (something I cannot even prevent) I am now utterly terrified when proceeding through an intersection, so often drivers do not signal, ones who do, overtake, signal and then wait, then we both stop.
Honestly, this is the most stressful part of cycling for me.
