At age 22 I was hit again, this time by a woman who ran a stop sign. No where near as fast as the first, and I saw it coming. Took some skin off my back, but no head injuries!
Personally, most people who are driving are not paying attention (too busy being sheep, or a waste of sperm). Who knows how many accidents I have avoided while driving. I always pay attention, to cyclists, and everything else. I know the circustances when a 2 ton object hits you. It sucks. i would hate to kill or maim someone due to my own negligence.

I have been hit by a car while riding my bike also . I try & watch but what really ticks me off is when they ride the wrong way. The law dictates that while riding a bike they are supposed ride with the flow of traffic & not against it, like alot of them do.
