I thought it would be an interesting thread for people to tell about their near misses on their bikes. You almost went down, but avoided it somehow. Maybe it was your fault and maybe it was someone elses. Maybe something fell off the truck you were following and you swerved to avoid it.

In my case, I have several. Last night I was going home on a two lane road and this idiot in a car coming the opposite way just switched into my lane into my path on my side of the road. I was able to avoid hitting him by going off to the right and nearly off the road. After I got by him, I could see he was trying to turn left into a side street.

I could see into the car as I passed. He wasn't texting or talking on the phone, he just had the brains of a slug.
