I am glad you survived your encounter. I had a very close call about a month ago. I was coming down a hill and had a green light and was in the intersection when a woman decided to make a right hand turn. She came to the intersection and I knew right away that she wasn't really looking and made the turn. I screamed (as you did, probably using the same explitives ) and she stopped after her turn. Of course I had to brake hard and when she stopped, I almost ended up on her trunk over my handlebars. It took my breath away. I really had a hard time breathing and just started pedaling to move forward. Not half a mile from there, some jerk decided I was going slow enough that he could make a left had turn in front of me I got home and I swear for a week, I had difficulty breathing deep. I wondered out loud if I was wearing a sign that said "HIT ME".

I think these types of situations make us aware, even more, of our vulnerability on a bike and I ride much more defensively. Because I commute to work, I am very aware of cars and ride defensively...this just brings the need to not slip into complacency because you haven't had a 'close encounter' for a bit
