I'm sorry to say that, but the truth is that drivers all over the world and particularly in Israel tend to be too careless of others. On a scooter you are unprotected despite the jacket, helmet, etc. </p>JDMDad commented on 'A Delayed Revelation'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef01348194fb6e970c2010-05-24T22:31:28Z2010-05-24T22:31:28ZJDMDadhttp://JDMDad.blogspot.comI've seen stories about the helmet before, but yours is the first "Live, in use" experience I've read.

Glad to hear your instincts paid off, whether by checking your mirrors (I'm always scanning my mirrors at a stop, and moving my head so I see ALL behind me), your helmet, etc. We had a horrendous crash here 2 or 3 years ago. A truck plowed into a car at a red light, pushing that car into another one, shooting that other one into the intersection where it was hit by traffic coming the other way. People zone out everywhere, and whether you are one 2, 3, 4 or more wheels, you've got to look EVERYWHERE for them at all times. </p>rickismomr commented on 'A Delayed Revelation'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0133ee63425e970b2010-05-24T22:16:13Z2010-05-24T22:16:13Zrickismomrhttp://beneaththewings.blogspot.com/Glad you are alive.

<p>I wish you'd gotten that driver's license plate number and reported him. He deserves to be nailed, seriously, for what he did, preferably before he endangers anybody else. I understand that after getting out of that situation with your life, reporting him was the last thing on your mind, but still....<br />

But your readers are such a savvy and clever crew, that Dave already provided my best line about invisibility.</p>
<p>Zahava, you should feel better to know that this was something of a worst-case scenario ... and everything still turned out just fine once the adrenaline rush subsided. Hey, at least David was not sitting directly behind a Ford Pinto with a Toyota approaching from the rear!

<p>Nope, don't own it and don't try splitting lanes around me. I hate when the cyclists try to thread the needle between my car and the others. Can't tell you how many times they have barely missed crashing into my car.</p>
<p>I don't want to be responsible for their being smacked. Ok, let me correct this, you sort of own a chunk of the road. If you guys ride in the center of the lane where you are easily spotted no big deal, it is the crazy stuff that some exhibit...</p>dave commented on 'A Delayed Revelation'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0133ee50dc8e970b2010-05-24T14:09:58Z2010-05-24T14:09:58Zdavethanks.<p>thanks.</p>Karl Newman commented on 'A Delayed Revelation'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef013481806850970c2010-05-24T13:29:53Z2010-05-24T13:29:53ZKarl NewmanMost drivers have tunnel vision.

If they are looking forward at all (and not texting, eating, fiddling with the radio or yelling at their kids), all they see is a narrow view across their hood. I was once clipped by a woman while directing traffic at a crash scene due to this. Despite my car with the blue lights on, the fire truck with its red lights on and my orange traffic vest, she blew right through the crash scene and got me on the way by. She had tunnel vision and her brain was in neutral while she drove to work. Many traffic crashes involve those very things.</p>
<p>Moral? Consider everyone on the road with you to be a mouth-breathing imbecile who got their driver's license out of a Crackerjack box. Do that, act accordingly, think ahead, keep your eyes open and your head on a swivel. It will save you a lot of grief.</p>dave commented on 'A Delayed Revelation'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef013481803f2a970c2010-05-24T12:47:42Z2010-05-24T12:47:42ZdaveOne thing to keep in mind, if you had been in a car, you wouldn't have been nimble enough to...<p>One thing to keep in mind, if you had been in a car, you wouldn't have been nimble enough to get out of the way, and he would have nailed you. Best piece of advice my brother ever gave me for riding is to pretend you are invisible, because to most drivers, you are. </p>treppenwitz commented on 'A Delayed Revelation'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0133ee501878970b2010-05-24T10:58:21Z2010-05-24T10:58:21Ztreppenwitzhttp://www.treppenwitz.comzahava ...
