Unfortunately, the three foot law didn't help me any. When motorists are not
paying attention (putting on makeup. talking or texting on phone, reading,
reaching for something , etc. etc.) that law is mute. I always ride as close to
the curb as possible and I have NEVER flipped anyone off no matter how rude they
were to me. I will never understand why it pisses motorists off because I am on
the road riding my bicycle. I am a very courteous rider but I was struck by a
distracted driver going at least 50 mph. She put me in a coma and has changed my
life forever because now I'm living with a brain injury. I was doing what I
loved to do. She was being an idiot. My life is changd. Her isn't. All she had
to pay was $172 ticket for inattetiveness.
