04:03 Stop sign right turn
04:26 Pointing a bit to the right at stoplights
04:52 Better left turn

15:35 Three rights to make a left
16:28 EXTREMELY hard phantom brake, full stop
16:58 Stop sign right
17:12 Stop sign right, could be a bit of a trickier turn
17:38 Stop sign, arrived at the same time as another car
18:07 Garbage can in the bike lane
18:17 Speed bump on a right turn
18:36 Motorcyclist wanting to turn in front
19:09 Do you have to slow *all* the way down for every speed bump?
19:44 Main road crossing

20:14 Parked car shenanigans
20:28 A bunch of police off to the side

22:26 Good left turn
23:05 Stop light
23:15 Left turn that goes just a little bit too far forward

24:25 Going in between parked cars rather than going straight
24:50 Stop sign right
25:33 Good left turn
26:05 Bit of hard braking into a right turn
26:50 Great right turn
27:05 Turning right, left, right, right, and right to avoid a single left
27:32 Left turn
27:43 Sharp steering/braking reaction to... is it trailers??
28:14 Stop sign right, yielding to a cat
28:34 Good right turn onto a street with parked cars
29:00 Doing that extremely weird snaking thing with the parked cars again
29:20 Stop sign right
29:51 Tilting right at the stop light again
30:30 Good four way stop
31:03 Right turn... left turn... righ wha?
31:29 Being pretty hesitant all around for this last section
31:55 Slowing way down for presumably the car on the other side of the road
32:30 My current verdict
32:44 Final bit of what the heck is it doing
33:00 All things considered, that was pretty good
33:29 Off into the night!")
