So anyway I was finishing a ride called the peak to peak through Colorado's gorgeous mountains (picks later!) heading back to Denver from Estes Park I'm doing about 75-80 on hwy 36 following my buddy on his harley. As he passes a car I notice the driver of the car looks over at him. As I was passing the car trying to hurry through the blind spot the car all of the sudden without warning comes right over into my lane!
It happened so fast I didn't have time to hit my horn or even my brakes! Luckily I had just enough space (I'm talking inches) to swerve off the highway onto the shoulder of the road and get between a 3 foot concrete barrier( that seperated northbound and southbound traffic) and her car to avoid being side swiped. Going 75mph on the shoulder of the road I got birdseye view of oncoming traffic heading in the opposite direction. When the driver realized she unknowinly ran me off the road she swerved back onto her lane. As I swerved back onto my lane I saw she looked mortified I just continued on without so much of an acknowledgment she almost killed me. I don't even want to imagine what would have happened had she collided with me. This lesson taught me 3 things.
1. accellerating fast through someone blind spot probably is not a good idea.
2. When approaching a cars blind spot you better make damn sure you have your horn covered.
3. Be sure to have an escape route just in case you have to emergency swerve to avoid being hit.
Just thought I'd share my close call to make people think.
