back breaker near hit about a year and half ago when i first started riding i took a msf course i have taken those lessons to heart over the past year i have had only a few near collisions with traffic morons on four wheels yesterday i got to add another to the list but with this one i felt the most helpless i am sitting at a light about car lengths behind a car a wise decsion suddenly i hear screeching tires i dart my eyes to my mirrors and realize it s the moroon flying up right behind me in my panic i pop my clutch and stall the bike luckily the guy stops a foot behind my rear wheel i understand why you theoretically stop so far behind a car but can you really in actuality avoid such an incident suggestions
