I was almost killed AGAIN yesterday by ANOTHER driver who let's say PASSIONATELY believes that cyclists don't belong on the road. Last I checked it was illegal for me to not ride on the road.
What I've learnt is to always drive defensively, ride defensively and walk extra defensively. Am I a scaredy-cat? On the race track no, But on the roads you betcha! I don't have nine lives and in my experience car vs car, both lose. Bike vs car, car wins. Pedestrian vs car, car wins again. Sometimes it's better to just swallow your pride, take a deep breath, contain any anger/road rage that wants out and be thankful that you're still breathing no matter who's right or wrong. Accidents happen and you never know but one day the shoe may be on the other foot.
