1st close call

You see how car drivers are all subconsciously trying to kill us! <edit> Stereo just beat me to saying it! </edit>

Ditto to what the others have said about allowing room to get out of trouble - I tend to ride in the right wheel track if I'm in the left lane, or the left wheel track if I'm in the right lane. Also - cars can brake much more effectively than bikes, particularly if the road is wet, so never get too close to the car in front. (Of course, by doing this you create a gap that people in the next lane feel they must fill by pulling in front of you!)

Anyway, you've had your first run in with a dill and you were smart enough to avoid him, so that's a good sign!

Sad to say but this happens to me so often on the way to work now I barely react to it anymore. I used to get all eaten up about it but now I squeeze a bit more go faster juice out of the fun control get past em and settle back in to wait for the next one.
