I think the time of day was a factor too. Two were in the morning rush and the other was at 12:42am or so. No story said if he was coming home from work or what at that late hour.

I almost got right hooked a couple days ago but it was 100% my own fault. I realized after the fact that had I taken the lane behind the vehicle which was stopped at a traffic light, the near miss would not have happened. As bikers, we have the right to take the lane where appropriate and safe to do so. It may require a certain amount of chutzpah and carries some risk of its own. Our responsibly is to weigh these risks in each situation. My general rules are to stay alert, choose slow over fast and assume that nature is out to get me. As Andy Grove said, only the paranoid survive.
