I won't lie, it's why I didn't switch to a disc brake equipped road bike until 2021. The final straw for me was the crash that was entirely preventable, except for the fact that it started raining and rim brakes don't work so good for emergency stops in the rain, and some dude decided he didn't see me, so he turned left in front of me...thankfully I hit the side of his Citroën instead of going over the hood.
