Happened yesterday, right after work.
Green Ford Escape, which was stopped at a Yield sign, performs an unsafe merge into my lane. I have the green light and right of way. As I'm driving through ...

I was going 50 km/h, proceeding though the intersection. Normal speed limit on this street is 80 km/h, but speeds were reduced due to some road work in the leftmost lanes. The green Ford Escape was stopped at the Yield sign. At the last second, he accelerates into my lane. I didn't have much time or room to react appropriately, and I did honk, swerve and brake to try to avoid the collision, but he just kept going and hit me. I was the only one in the car at the time. No injuries to anyone involved, and I had two witnesses volunteer their information to provide support.
This sucks because it's been such a long time since I've been involved in a multi vehicle collision, and I just had my wheels repaired and refinished. Judging by the rim damage, they'll have to replace it and then repaint it to match the other wheels. But hey, at least nobody was injured. Could have been much worse if this happened while the speed limit wasn't reduced.
