Nor was I.
However "junction" covers a lot of situations. Mine was a cross over on the pavement leading to an alley to a garage.
If you hit a relatively immovable object such as the side of a car, I'd guess you'd go over the bars at 10mph and maybe less.
Edit: anyway, not meaning to have an argument; your pionts are well made. Just saying that ime, it's easy to get caught out and it can hurt alot. So stay safe everyone.

I wasn't there.
You have to be going pretty fast to go over the bars in that situation. Line of stationary cars, junction coming up. It's pretty clear where the danger is, if you're unsighted then you slow right down. It's the driver's fault, obv.
