As you've said; in a car-dominant road, bikers and motorcyclists tend to be ignored, and that could lead to situations like yours. Thankfully you weren't that hurt, and hopefully that driver will now be alert and vigilant when turning in the bike lane, so that possible accidents can be prevented. I wish your story will help spread awareness regarding this issue. Thanks for sharing!<br /><br /><a href="http://jandjlaw.com/" rel="nofollow">Roman Barnes @ Johnson & Johnson Law Firm</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10245379505940894435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916447777056971449.post-19121817079667038892014-04-25T14:13:27.751-04:002014-04-25T14:13:27.751-04:00This was one accident story that ended on a happy ...This was one accident story that ended on a happy note! Things could've been different if the woman who hit you became stubborn, so it's gratifying to know that not only did you get well, but you also ironed out things nicely. Not all drivers are the same as the couple you've encountered, so knowing what you could do legally in an unlikely event is important. Stay safe!<br /><a href="http://mccolmmatsinger.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/involved-in-road-accident-hire.html" rel="nofollow">Christine Matsinger @ PersonalInjurySunshineCoast.com.au</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01986078155907580926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916447777056971449.post-33731969848155183082014-04-16T13:16:36.322-04:002014-04-16T13:16:36.322-04:00It's a relief to know you weren't hurt!

I definitely agree with you that motorists should be more aware of cyclers on the road, and not just of other fellow motorists. And good tips too! I hope this message gets passed along to others!
