SMIDSY doesn't just happen to bikes...

Granted he should have checked more, but with yours being a small (and not exactly fast) car I'm going to assume you were more than likely in his blind spot... just need to always be aware of what other people may or may not be able to see to avoid being in a situation where you do have to take action. Having the moral high-ground is irrelevant

This is not an attack on your personally or to suggest that you were in the wrong, just a wise man offering his wisdom
