I was riding straight on a through street, no stop signs for a few blocks. Car was approaching at a normal speed on the other side and as we get close together some fool enters the intersection from my right because he was looking at his phone and didn't see myself or the giant approaching SUV. I slammed on the brakes, the SUV accelerated out of danger (he was angled to go left in the direction the SUV was traveling, though there was no blinker on obviously), and the fool went right back to his phone after hitting the brakes, didn't even look around. Oh and his car was half way into our side of the road, blocking traffic. If I hadn't hit the brakes he would have hit me and probably the person on the ebike who was in the process of overtaking me.I've had closer calls (there was probably 2-3 meters between the nose of his car and my bike when I stopped), but it wasn't exactly a fun experience.
