I got hit (right hand turner)

[greycoral]

when he said he had his blinker on (didn't I see that) I felt small ,and stupid. He mostly just stared at me ,and then rubbed his car dent.

Big deal. Turning your blinker on doesn't magically clear the road of any other cars, cyclists, or pedestrians. It also doesn't automatically give you the right of way. He should have waited until you passed before making that turn.

Maybe I'm confused, but wasn't this guy behind you at some point before he turned in to you? If so, he should have known that you were in the bike lane and waited for you to cross the entrance before turning.

You did nothing wrong. He was at fault.

I'm glad you're okay.

exactly.
