lucky for the cyclist ME is not a contributory negligence state....after what I have learned about NC's contrib neg laws (one of I believe only three states who have contrib vs. comparative) it makes we think twice about what I wear, not riding after sunset, and doing my best to maintain a proper lookout.
Learned all of this after the wife got doored at 25 mph....the truck door won....and so did the defendant.
Anyone cycling in Alabama, District of Columbia, Maryland, North Carolina, and Virginia should educate themselves about all the ways you could be injured and/or suffer property damage and be left holding the bag...of broken bike, or worse, body parts.
