from what my friend who was behind me told me my accident happened so fast he didnt think it really happened
he actually passed the accident blinked and looked again and realized that i wasnt there
he said i flinched, the bike wobbled, and i hit the truck
from the close calls that i have had i can tell you there is definatly a moment of "ok i see them, i think they see me, looks like they are staying there... WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" swerve (or whatever you can do to avoid them)
you dont have nearly as much time as you would think you do... because its usually not untill the last second that they seem like they are going to do what they end up doing
