Did I read this wrong? I noticed a couple of posters were responding based on the car making a right turn after stopping at a red light, and another poster responded based on a right hook situation. I don't believe this was either situation... nor were bike lanes involved.

I thought I read in the OP that the car stopped at a stop sign and then proceeded but stopped. Now I wasn't sure where the OP was... parallel to the car or perpendicular... but based on the "i didnt have any stop signs, i had right of way" comment, I surmised that the OP was on a cross street.

If this was the case, then like my situation, the motorist was fully at fault and as Joey pointed out if this happened at a point of no return... the cyclist really has little chance of defense.

To the OP, the motorist may be liable for any damages to you and your bike. (Not sure of the NYC laws)
