The second video is hilarious... first video shows either skill, or luck. Although I feel like he should have began stopping sooner.

Cool

Saturday morning, I was riding with my wife as a passenger.

A white BMW SUV made an illegal left turn over double yellow in front of us.

I didn't expect it but I saw it coming as soon as the SUV started slowing down and I look to the face of the driver, who was looking over his left side, ahead of our location.

He went for it as fast as he could, while my front tire stopped at less than six inches of his passing-by car.

I never did a SMIDSY because it was not an intersection and I did not have time to look in the mirrors.
Later, I realized that he decided going because he didn't see a car when he looked through us.

My advice to all street riders once again: practice emergency braking at least once weekly, ride the streets with the controls covered, work on your visual skills, don't speed (much) and stay alert every second of your rides.

Yike, close call! Glad your attention and quick action saved you both.

Did the driver realize the mistake and stop or at least react to the near miss, or just continue on their merry way clueless?

I was looking at the eyes of the driver the whole time; he seemed focused on making that U-turn as quickly as possible and on nothing else.

I believe that he saw us at the last second, but he never slowed down or stopped.

One can never be too alert around cagers

Glad you and your wife came out of this situation ok. Your time spent acquiring knowledge and practicing has just been paid off in full.

just to be clear, rear brake is more effective with a passenger.

I'm not saying I would have.... but I probably would have calmly and gently explained what just occurred.

You've got to know how to brake hard, and have some faith in your brakes too. Now that you can hardly find a car without antilock brakes the art of panic stopping needs to be practiced intentionally.
