It doesn't matter how safe you are...

...it only takes an idiot driver, and you are done!

Yesterday I almost died: I was cycling on a straight stretch of road, slightly uphill, at night. I had my lights on. A driver overtook me only to hit a  traffic island just 5 or 6 meters in from of me. Obviously he swerved to the left and I was able to slow down enough only because I was going uphill.

He broke his front-right rim and suspension, but what would have happened to me if I was just a bit further ahead? Do you think he apologized? Or do you think that he blamed me for going too slow, forcing him to overtake me?

Cars in cities are weapons! Stay safe and look out for idiots!
