I've been right-hooked on bike too. That lady did it on purpose though. Then I caught up to her and came within a mm of breaking her window out when I hit it.
But yeah, texting and cell phones... there are two major employers in this town and they are not smart enough to stagger their shift times; when day shift ends it is like toilets flushing during SuperBowl halftime: millions all at once. Evidently there must be a whole day's worth of
really important communications to catch up on by then. One can watch the traffic for a while and notice that 4 out of 5 commuters have phones stuck to their heads... I suppose the other 1 out of 5 have their phones down low, texting.
