I start pedaling hard to get past and THAT is when he decides to make his move. Pulls right out when I'm in the driveway and I end up slaming my shoulder and face in his front drivers side fender and mirror. Bounce of the side and down on the road. Shoulder felt dislocated, face a bumpy bloody mess. My shoulder was sore for 6 months.
