There are some accidents that no matter what, you won't see in time to do anything about.
Happens in cars too. On a busy state highway following two cars. The 1st car didn't see me. He made a quick right turn then a U Turn. Without looking or stopping made a left back the way he came. Somehow we avoided hitting, but I was forced into the other lane of on-coming 65 MPH traffic. Some how missed them too.

Ride safe on your cycle
nothing is 100%. Every little bit helps - loud pipes, safety course, the right riding gear, being alert and even then you can still get in an accident. I like to improve my odds, but its just that....improving odds.
