I amost got killed

LOL!

The driver was excited, cause he could have killed a kid! The accident
would have ruined his whole day.

Let it go. Be sure that the car will see ya, for your own good.

so wear white.

or hey, don't practice in the street.

or hey, pay attention to what's going on around you.

he wasn't angry because 'he could see you clearly'

Had he killed you, being an american, he would have been sued by your
parents because their kid was being an idiot.

you'll see, once you're old enough to drive, that even being vigilant
while you are driving isn't always enough. and...people aren't always
being vigilant. get off the street if you are screwing around, that's
where cars go

Good stuff, sorry to sound harsh, but you have to look at it from the
driver's point of view. always

Call my paranoid, but I wear something orange in the woods all year. I
was shot at once off season when I was a kid on the back 40. Never
found out who did it, but the tree I was by was sprayed pretty well.
Dead by a poacher is the same as dead by a permitted hunter during
season.

It's just best to err on the side of caution when it comes to lethal
risks. Wear WHITE, I'm not certain wearing wight will do you any good.

Until you become a driver, you really have no idea how hard it is to see
things at night that don't have lights on them. Even traffic cops
forget this; I've seen them at dusk in black uniforms with black gloves
on trying to manage traffic. This is a good way to get killed.

At night, even if you are dressed in reflective clothing, unless you
are riding like a bike, with traffic, obeying traffic laws, with
operating taillights and headlights, you are running a HIGH risk of
being crushed by a car or truck.

Stay off the road at night unless you are acting like a car and lit up
like a Christmas tree!

well, on the bright side, if you had been hit and not killed, i don't
think any jury anywhere would EVER buy the excuse, "your honor, i
really didn't see the kid and his unicycle sprawled out on the ground
in front of my car." omg, injury lawyers worldwide would line up on
your doorstep to handle your case for you. but all kidding aside, we
should all take the lesson here: wear helmets and don't get hit by
cars.

😄 I thought wight must be some American thingy that you wear to get
seen in the dark.

Round here I think that if you are not a car but are on the road at
night the onus is on you to be seen. I think a jury would be very
sympathetic to a car driver if he ran you over, at least in Britain.

If I practice on my street (of 4 houses) in the dark I have small
lights that I clip on my spokes, a front bike light and a back red
light. Actually, thinking about it, there are laws about how much
luminosity a bike has to have if ridden on the road at night. Which
extends way past 'wearing white' (or wight). And I also move off the
road if a car drives down the street, even if it's only to turn round.

Keep safe.
