In reply to norrisdan71:
I got doored once (ouch, you have my sympathy) in 5+ years of the various daily hazards but no other collisions so two collisions (doored & clobbered?) and one near miss (pedestrian?) in one commute is shocking and has to be incredibly rare. Multiple hazards (mostly human) encountered but dodged daily is closer to the norm.
Victim blaming alert. Sorry.
"a pedestrian eased her way through buses to step out in right in front of me" - would I be right in thinking pedestrian legally crossing road through stationary buses and you were legally overtaking stationary buses and/or legally filtering through heavy slow/stationary traffic? If that's the case then pedestrian (bus passenger?) is an obvious hazard to anticipate.
I got doored (extremely painful) filtering between parked cars on my left and stationary traffic jam to my right from which a kid opened rear passenger door. If moving in the "door zone" all you can do is slow down for a less painful impact. I doubt there is time to react.
Left hook, like the other two examples above, not your fault as somebody turning left is supposed to look. However, was there anything you could have done differently?
What was different about this day? Were you distracted or in a hurry? Why did your hazard perception and defensive riding skills that normally keep you safe fail you two or three times on this special day?
Alternatively this day was just statistically incredibly rare bad luck as otherwise you would already be an ex-commuter due to injury or worse.
