That's a lot of experience kerley, i considered myself an expert and had about 35 years of urban and rural cycling under my belt when i applied to be a cycling instructor 9 years ago. My riding and awareness changed drastically after an afternoon of cycle training as part of my instrructor training.
When did you last get feedback? I'd be happy to spend an hour or so with you and offer you some. pm me
I am sure you can figure loads of stuff through experience but it is amazing how we sometimes tolerate stuff. We suffer the same type of incident again and again yet don't think to change OUR behavior because its easier to shout and blame f*ing cnting w**nker drivers who while no doubt should have looked before opening the car door in our face we hadn't figured out that we could have ridden out of the car door zone
