It's scarey. There's no defense.

Weird how I posted earlier last week about riding on the opposite side of the road so you can see traffic etc. Not much you can do if a driver is not paying attention.
Here's one thing, which I know others disagree with, but never ride with a headset or IPOD.

I hear people approaching.

Don't ride with those special glasses.

Be as attentive as you can. Know your ride and the danger spots.
