If I had a dollar for every time the same happened to me.
Does it happen that often? If it's a close call each time, then have a look at what you could do to make it not so close. Looking in to side turnings and position so they can get a better view of you (the windscreen pillar hides loads), and positioning to allow you a swerve escape as well as backing off a bit can make a huge difference to giving you more time to react to this.

Agreed, if things like this happen a lot its time to look at ones riding style and see what you could do to improve. Very good points.

Thats a stupid driver, just how you couldnt see him/her, they couldnt see you either and it could have been a truck coming along and they would have been DONE

I don't trust cars that much when the sun is at those low angles...too much glare. That was a close call....didn't realize you were on this Forum Ghost Ninja... I watched and appreciate the Memorial video you did on 'Zachary Boub'.
