      Last near car crash I had was with a woman who drove past my skidding bicycle and just smirked at me like I was a clown on stilts.

          Fuck you for assuming: No lights as it was a small Dutch residential road with a raised to pedestrian hight exit/entrance to a smaller residential street. I was cycling on the main road on the orange cycle lane she wanted to enter the road. It was obvious I was there she just didn’t care. (This was in Baarn a place full of villas and large cottage’s)
