Yesterday crossing over Butcher's Row (that goes down to the Highway) going east to west on the CS3 the traffic heading south was at a complete standstill. The light was green but I filtered through, which although is not a great move, is not so bad as there is an island where you can decide if you want cross the next two lanes of traffice and rejoin the CS. But as I paused to check left for cars coming off the highway some absolute motherfucker pulled out of the stuck traffic, came around the island into the oncoming lane and flew past me by millimeters - their back tyre rubbed against my front tyre is how fucking close it was. I'm still too shocked to even know what to do with myself.
