Why does everyone feel the need to call the police.? I want to keep them out of my and my family's lives. They only need to be bothered for the more serious crap like, come get this guy I just shot that broke into my house.....
You lucked out this time and just need to be aware of how fast things can, and do happen. Never assume just because someone pulls off the side of the road that they are turning in or stopping. Chalk it up to experiance, and hopefully the young girl will to.

I say you were very lucky.
My jeep got hit by a car that way - guy pulled over to the side, I went to pass him and he pulled right in to my rear bumper did not even bother to look. I was lucky the car just hit the rear bumper which was a heavy duty bumper.
I am glad you did not get hurt!

I just try to dodge'em anymore. So far been lucky. Used to get really pissed about it, even forced one girl over into a BP gas station to chew her out. Got the usual "I'm sorry, didn't see you." So, I try to miss them and keep my blood pressure down.

Had same basic thing happen this past summer by me. The local high school kids cruise the lake area on lunch hour and a car full of teen girls driving the dam did the same thing, but thank god I was solo this time.
The fat cow pulled right then at last second whipped back left almost into me and into a parking spot, laughing and going on. I stopped next to her door and screamed to her if she didn't have all of her fingers stacked with doughnuts and a bottle of chocolate milk stuffed in her face she would have both heard and saw that I was behind her!!!!
At this time before her or her other idiots say something, I cracked the V&H 4" ovals to the revlimiter to show her what a highly tuned set of pipes with SE 204 cams sound like at 4 feet as passing her window turning around to leave in a more tuned note.
I t-boned a 17yr old bimbo in 08-16-08, pulled out of a side parkinglot/alley on a Friday night and pull straight into my lane at bout 20 feet. I was doing 18-20mph, JUST looked at my speedo, looked up to see her headlights come out from alley into me. She was on cell phone!!!! I saw the blue screen just as she pulled out looking the other way as I hit her drivers side door/front fender. Down I went. Ended up under car, she drives off as I JUST make it out avoiding being driven over. My partner and his wife were just behind me by mere feet on their bike as well. She gets stopped, police arrive, no tickets!!!!!!!!! By grace of god her Insurance pays for threat of $2M lawsuit against them all.

Oh man this thread brings back some bad memories for me. Pretty much the same thing. A car in front of me parks in front of a house with his right turn signal on. I'm thinking they are stopping at the house. WRONG. The driver whip a U-Turn in front of me. No where for me to go. I end up taking out his A Pillar on my way up and over the car. Ended up laying on back back a few feet from the car. All I remeber is some dip **** trying to remove my full face helmet off without taking off the strap first.
I came out lucky. No broken bones just a lot of bruising and soreness for awhile.
This happened many years ago and was the reason I gave up riding until four years ago.
Like was posted earlier. Just because they are on the side of the road you still need to watch those idots cause they sure ain't looking for us.

If by myself, I would have turned and followed them for a while, let them think what the want. If wife was with me, would have gotten the plate. Had a LEO friend run the plate and went and had a talk with her parents, dressed in my biker best. Dumb *** kids have gotten to be held responsible for their actions.

The fact is their is nothing you could have done that would make a difference with idiots like that, and you would probably just end in up in big trouble yourself.....thats the way the law works nowadays. Just thank your Guardian Angel and keep a farther distance behind vehicles. You handled it the best way possible.
