He had to hit the brakes to avoid t-boning the person. The person must've have looked at me and missed him (both of us had our low-beams on).
That's why you'll always see RJ and I swerve back and forth in our lanes as we approach a vehicle looking to make a cross-street turn. Not only does it make you more visible by changing lane position, it also helps you not to get lost behind the bike in front of you. This is especially helpful at night when 2 bikes can be mistaken as a car.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
