so let me tell you what happened: you came up behind the car, while a bus passed. lady driver had no chance whatsoever to see you. ok. she then kept her eyes to the left, because in her mind, she had already accounted for the car turning left (which you are now positioned to the side of). she then turned as quickly as possible, to make her turn. she also cut the corner. What you have here is about 5x unfortunate circumstances in a row, which almost got you run over. As a motorcyclist, this happens all the time. I think to myself: yes, other drivers are idiots, but what could I have done to prevent this? In this case, I would have stayed behind the driver turning left, not comming up to the side of the car.
youre right in her a pillar there. Her fault 100 percent, but youre dead in line with it. Its the same reason drivers pull out on bikers on roundabouts, if they dont move their head to look around it a bike or cyclist becomes invisible.
I had someone do this and pass to the left of me. She said she was turning while facing the rear of the car dealing with her kid. WTF. Agree with the bollards comment. The A-pillar on cars is so big nowadays, especially on ridiculous SUVs, it's dangerous, which adds to the problem of bad drivers. And why is "I didn't see you" always an excuse for driving like an idiot.
Unfortunately, drivers don't need to be on a mobile phone to be distracted. The fact is most drivers on the road are distracted by something, be it the radio, sat nav or looking at the passenger while talking.
Man, I thought that after the pandemic, people would have more empathy, unfortunately it only got worse, like that lady wasn't seeing a worker on his bike with a flashing light
as a driver, heres some advice. turn that fucking flashing off, and have it as a still light. theres nothing more god damned annoying than either or both front and rear light flashing.. when lights flash, your unable to detect how far away that item actually is, or what that item is…..
Hey! Your clip caught our attention, and we think it would be perfect for our new compilation on our social networks. Can we include it? We'll give you proper credit.
The way she went "Alright!" as if she didn't nearly just seriously injure you with a giant machine. Shows how disconnected and apathetic cars make a person

You were entitled to be cross!
Incompetent driver

Glad you didn't get hit. Hope you reported her for dangerous driving?

Oh back again , riding around too fast blaming others, typical flog
Do you know what a pillar blind spot is? Apparently not as you assume she must see you because of your lights.
