About 35 years ago I was hit by a car that was doing 40mph. Rearended. I was in the traffic lane, but the lady didn't look before changing lanes to pass a slower moving vehicle. Three years ago I had a very close call when a driver passed out at the wheel coming home from a pain treatment. His truck pulled up alongside me and then swerved into my path forcing me to push off the bed of the truck to avoid complete catastrophe.
Talk about gun shy. Have not ridden that section of road since then, and never rode the same road that I was on when hit 35 years ago. Some lessons are well learned.
