I completely agree with you that I should have called out, but there is a pretty damn good way of seeing things behind you without mirrors and it's called turning around to look, I know it's my fault yes. But he could have avoided the hit just as much as I could. I do realize it was my responsibility. But don't take that for granted or some stupid kid like me may hit you, just as there is defensive driving there is also defensive riding. I just want to raise awareness among the new riders and more experienced riders so less accidents can occur
