Hopefully you're not scarred for life...
I've had a close call twice by "old guy in a Class A diesel pusher"...once was a lane change squeezing me over, I was about 25% past him when he decided to come over...I don't think he saw me until I dropped a couple of gears and zipped out of his way...the other was really no-ones fault, I came around the corner just as he started to come out of the gas station...not a great intersection, as it is more of an off ramp than a turn and the gas station is right there with signage, etc...man can you stop a bike quick...lol...it was either that or enter his storage compartment...I think I made the right choice...
I really try my best to not travel next to anyone, especially a larger vehicle...you just never know.
