This happened to an older rider here about 10 years ago; she was riding along, then dipstick driver leaned over to look for something and then kicked his door open. Yes she was wearing a foam hat, but she still received major head injuries. Pretty sure the driver got sympathy for his trauma. ::eyerolls hard enough to sprain eyes::
