Could've been bad but he had time to think. 

I had that happen twice in Florida but it was in a roundabout.  THOSE were close calls.  There were signs indicating "NO LEFT TURN and the curb is there to direct drivers right only!  D*mn bluehairs!!   >:(

It happened recently getting off of the 51 highway.  A car heading right at me going down the off ramp against traffic.   How the hell?! [bang]

expected, you should keep an eye out for it, but its a pretty dbag move on the drivers part. all bikes currently have DRLs and he knew there was a vehicle a head, and he just completely ignored it.

Good thing there was a nice smooth, wide berm , on a country 2 lane , then it gets a little more dicey...when you only have 3 feet of berm and it may be gravely :o !

Was this actually you Heman? If so I was hoping you would flip a u-turn and chase the choob down. I hate the drivers who know you are there but do it anyways cause they can. They're never quite so cocky when they have a p1ssed off rider bashing on their window.

I really need to start using this more. Getting to be entirely too many "badasses" on this board lately.

Based on the title of the post I found myself really looking down the road in the video, waiting for the idiot to come at me. I'll focus more now...

There's soooo much that could go wrong even after having avoided the stupid driver. Debris on the shoulder. And edge trap getting back on the road. The poop in your shorts getting on the rear brake. Etcetera.
