Close calls and lessons learned while riding
#51
If that question was for me, I wasn't able to see into the car because there was a glare on her windshield. And they must've seen me swerving around them as they turned into the intersection, because after I got back into my lane, and slowed down, I took a quick glance back in their direction, and they had stopped after they completed their turn. Probably trying to see if they just killed a guy on a motorcycle. I just went on about my business. Didn't trust myself to behave if I would have stopped and went to talk to them. Just went to a parking lot about half a mile down the road and regained my composure/cleaned the **** out of my shorts, etc.

And yes, I don't trust myself to behave in those situations either... ha

Lesson Learned - Being in the right does no good if it gets you killed.
Almost taken out by some idiot going straight from the inside "left turn only lane". The pause in the video shows the second of two signs showing the inside lane is left turn only. Of course, I saw him change lanes behind me as we were approaching the intersection, so I was expecting the worst. Before TxDot had repaving done to this road, there used to be painted arrows on the pavement along with broken painted lines and, I believe, there were signs on the horizontal pole adjacent to the stop lights.
