Hit the car broad side and flipped over it. Good thing he was wearing a helmet. His helmet is on display at the OU trauma center as one that saved a live. He still has major issues physically.
Last month before I sold my last bike, I had to lock up the brakes twice from people turning left in front of me without signalling. Just not worth the risk to me. Respect your right to ride.

I only ride occasionally for these reasons and the many phone distracting drivers. Try to ride in rural areas w less traffic.
