I almost got killed at an intersection because of a careless driver who decided to turn right into me, as I sped through the intersection. Thankfully, I was able to slam the breaks in time. Unfortunately, my friend's bike's back breaks didn't work, so I ended up getting thrown off of the bike and head-smacking the black road pavement without a helmet (i.e. I'm retarded). Ended up with a concussion and an abrasion to my skull. I got lucky that the driver didn't run over my head. The driver also hit-and-ran me, which is expected in a shit hole like New Haven. Basically, don't speed through intersections on a bike, try to wear a helmet even if they are uncomfortable.
