First bike-car incident

Apr 04, 2013 16:40

Well, this morning was my first car-person incident involving moving vehicles (no damage either party).

I was in the right-hand lane of a three-lane one-way street, about to go through a yellow light, when the car in the middle lane decided to turn right. I yelled and braked, but I didn't stop fast enough, and my elbow against their window allowed me to finish stopping.

All in all, a very slow-mo collision, with no damage or injury.

In the car's defense, the righthand lane was (three-quarters) blocked half a block away by a fuel truck.
