I have never been so scared! I saw her coming and thought, "wow that car is still moving...it will stop, its going to stop....HEY its NOT STOPPING!!!". I was moving fast myself and tried to not hit the brakes too hard and I turned sharp to the right just as she passed me (so that the front of my bike was parallel to the side of her car when I stopped). I was very fortunate when I was able to stop that the momentum didn't throw me in her path. We were so close (literally a couple of inches apart)I could have reached in the car, that's when she said "sorry" and drove off (actually she never did come to a full stop). I got a really good look at her, she was young, maybe 18-20ish and had someone with her in the passenger seat-didn't see a cell phone or anything so maybe she had been talking to the other person when she ran through the intersection. I guess saying "sorry" IS better than some things she could of said but she was totally in the wrong, having run the red light so she had no excuse.
Live and learn...thanks for the warm feelings. Hope everyone had a safe ride today!
