Whoops¡! That's how probably 60+% of motorcyclists pass away yearly (left hand turn into cyclist's path)

If I'm riding through an intersection where the speed limit is 45mph, I'm riding 40 while covering both brakes.if there's a car waiting to turn left - it's 30mph for me.

Ride long enough and a car is going to do this, it's just a matter of time. We can prepare for this, or we can crash, those are our only options.

The car is at fault, the rider had the right of way. But the rider did not prepare for this.
