This is awful.
Getting hit from the rear feels like the one thing I can't control in my riding.
RIP
I've had to do drag strip launches at least twice to avoid getting ran over. The one that bothers me though is the one I missed. I had a driver swerve around me last year and miss by inches, then run through the intersection in the wrong lane into oncoming traffic.
I was at a three way stop light (flashing red). ALWAYS watch your rear view mirros and leave yourself an out.
