This is, in part, why I always ride with a mirror. Right Hooks are one of my most common threats on the road, especially the roads that have countless entrance points to so freakin' many shopping centers -- and a speed limit of 45-mph, but we all know they're going at least 55.
I can't count how many times I've had to take quick action to prevent a Right Hook on these roads.
I don't want to sound like I'm victim-blaming. We just don't know the circumstances and even though I'm good at avoiding RHs, I very well know that this is probably they one way I'll get it one day. They can be very tricky to avoid in some circumstances. Not only do less and less people use turn signals nowadays, but you can be on some roads where you can't hear someone slowing down, because the speed is such that they don't -- a lot of people like taking turns at the fastest possible speed, from what I have seen.
