Took me getting hit 2x in a month.
I sat down with myself and told the idiot to his face that he better start riding defensively lest he run out of skin to scrape, or of whatever little brain he had.
Seems to have worked. I assume drivers will fuck up, and try to keep an eye out for a quick escape route. I still go fast (for me), take the lane and ride assertively, but I am a lot less aggressive and a lot less injured. In the end, it is not about who is right but about who is alive.
