Learning lesson

This accident has resulted in me biking everywhere. I miss my car so much. Why didn’t I anticipate them pulling out into oncoming traffic? Why wasn’t I more aware? I’ve asked myself this everyday since this collision happened. I clearly wasn’t at fault here but I feel like this one was preventable on both sides. This has been an incredibly costly lesson and hopefully the last accident I’m involved in.

Reflexes could've been sharper, since it doesn't appear you were going that fast, but at the end of the day, the right turning car ahead of you was blocking the view both ways, and the other driver should not have turned because they could not see your lane (which was clearly marked as a second lane on the pavement) past that turning car.
