He obviously wasn't checking his mirrors, for he just pulled right in front of me. Were it not for my good brakes, I would've skidded right into his side - or

Yay for survival!
My sister's boyfriend has a good solution to drivers not paying attention to bikers: if you can, give their car a good thump. It scares the beejeebers out of them since they think they just hit you, and then they tend to be more sorry.
