  1. Drivers can't easily judge the velocity of a thin line with no lights coming towards them. Most definitely not when only looking with one eye before merging. You're not what they are expecting.

  2. The driver does not need to yield to cyclist and had you have been going a normal speed you'd have been able to stop not swerve left to dodge

  3. Ahh yes, the replies in this thread that all basically say "when you can't see or judge something when driving, just go for it instead of waiting". This is why so many drivers are shit. If you can't judge if something is safe, don't do it. If you can't see then don't pull out.

  4. How is this the car guys problem? If you had a light this would have been avoided. I don't think you realize how "small" you seem to be when riding a bicycle and at such a high speed at that. I am a cyclist too. And I commute to work daily.

  5. It is your fault in a sense because you failed to follow the basic speed law, riding too fast for current conditions. It's a windy mountain road with glare and limited visibility and maybe the car didn't see a tiny bicycle. That being said the car should have been more careful.

  6. No matter what means of transport you use – car, motorcycle, bicycle or even walking – it's just as annoying or stupid to behave as if you own the whole world. Especially when you're driving around in an urban area!

  7. You had the sun behind you. Even with that exit being in the shade they probably had pretty terrible visibility (and you were maybe behind their B pillar too). Good reactions.
