That happened to me a few years ago. I kicked his door - he swerved back into his lane with his lumbering black SUV. We got to the light ahead, he stopped next to me rather than pulling up the few car spaces in front of him. He was crying - and yelled out the window an apology and the fact that he was a rider too... and didn't see me.

UGH.

Confession: I have NOT seen a motorcycle and ALMOST pulled out in front of him. The road I live on dumps out onto a busy 4 laner. There is a slight right hand curve just before my street. The motorcycle was silver, rider was wearing silver and black, road looked silver (in the setting sun). The only difference between me and that guy we all rail against is that I thought I might have seen a glimmer of something on the road, waited a second, realized it was a headlight, shoved my heart back down in my throat and continued on my merry way, AFTER the bike passed my road.

That still scares me.
