Back when I was driving one of my many Citroën Meharis, which don't offer much more protection than a motorcycle, almost the same thing happened to me.
Driving west into the setting sun, traffic stalled for some reason.
I look in the rear view mirror and see a truck coming at me at full speed.
Manage to turn the steering wheel, hit first gear and floor it, not fast enough, he still hit me and threw me into a field.
Next 3 cars were totalled.
Mine needed a new rear end.
He was talking to his daughter in the passenger seat and blinded by the sun...........................BANG!
If I hadn't had that motorcyclist paranoia, and checked my rear view mirror as soon as I slowed down, I would have been killed.
Justin, one of the reasons I drive a BMW is that it is silent.
Doesn't make more noise than a car, but you'd need a top level Porsche or Astom Martin to keep up with it.
I hate those guys who think that the more noise their effing Harley makes, the bigger men they are.
Stopped for gas in the local village once, when this guy riding a Triumph Rocket with no baffles whatsoever, rolled in.
Literally shook the windows in the whole village.
So I told him: " Guess you must have a pretty small dick, having to make so much noise"
