Nice job, heads up driving!

I have always maintained that it would suk getting punted through an intersection by an inattentive driver. When I approach a red light of stop sign I will try to increase MY following distance a little when slowing and I keep an eye on traffic approaching from behind even after the car immediately behind me has stopped because it only take a second for a chain reaction to start.  Another good habit is to leave yourself an avenue of escape.

the OP did a great job of self preservation

I got rear ended last month, lady was on her cell phone. I always check now people don't pay attention to bikers.

Too many idiots don't even pay much attentions to other cars and trucks, let alone bikes.

Glad the OP looked in the mirrors and responded... and had enough room to maneuver out of the way. This shows why it's good to leave enough room in front of you when stopped to be able to get out the way if need be.
