PSA Please don't drive in the bike lane, m'kay?

Coming home down Lake Washington Blvd, someone decided to tailgate me and drive around the speed bumps by using the bike lane. Then, when I stopped to make a left hand turn into my complex, they passed me with maybe an inch between his mirror and mine. If I'd been just a little bit more to the left, he would have taken it right off.

So tell me, is it worth the 20 seconds you saved getting to the RR crossing at Houser? Hmm? Is it worth the moving violation you'd get if you did hit me and I called the police?

I'll bet good money he didn't know the stop line is before the crossing gate and not directly on the tracks in front of it.
