> I was riding on an empty road when the radar chirped, and the dot popped up on the head unit. i checked the mirror and saw a beater pickup about 100m behind me, riding the very edge of the shoulder-less road. I kept my eye on it and it wasn’t moving off the edge as he approached. I waited as long as I dared, then bailed onto the grass next to the road (no curb). It passed without ever moving over. After a lot of swearing (and wishing the cameras had arrived already!) I got back on and finished my ride without further incident.

Having a radar is a no brainer. The mirror helps a lot too.
