I had a close encounter myself about a month ago when some huge truck waved a sports car thru to turn left in front of me. I broadsided the car going 'bout 20mph. I still hurt and their insurance still hasn't paid out the $ to fix my sweet little road bike. I was lucky as the cycle took most of the impact, but I learned a lesson. When in traffic take the whole dang lane and don't pass a high profile vehicle on the right. I just started ridn' again and boy am I watchin out for the nuts
