   Or the driver I saw just a few minutes ago... I'm biking going 22mph in   
   a 25mph zone. Driver races up on me at 35mph passes, slows to about   
   15mph for the stop sign and keeps on going through a left turn.   
      
   The vehicle simply doesn't matter, people drive and bike largely the   
   same way.
