Some drivers have little regard for the safety of others, judging by this incident last weekend. I was cycling, at approx. the 30km/h limit, along Halsey Street with a considerate car following me. As we approached Jellicoe Street a Mercedes overtook both the following car & me crossing the double yellow line just before a blind 90° corner. This was in the low-speed pedestrian zone by an entry to the America's Cup village on the final Prada Cup race day (Jan 30th).
Seems they were racing to find a parking space. I slowed as I passed, with a W.T.F.?, but did not further confront the driver who did that stare straight ahead ignore everything response. The area was busy that day, luckily the road (with restaurants both sides) and village entry were not at that time.
The rear camera view shows the context better, the front one the stupidity of their driving. I have filed a Police 'Road Watch Report' but my big regret is that I did not think, until further down the road, to pull in and 'park' in the space they were trying to get into.
