Hit by a Car

So yeah. Got hit by a car. Doesn't seem to be any major injuries, just scrapes and bruises. Not pressing charges (if I even can - yes, it was my right of way, see below), just because I feel that they shouldn't have to pay because they made a mistake. I could make them homeless for all I know, and I have no hospital bills, so y'know.

Anyway, here's a diagram I excellently shooped.

I was on the sidewalk on the bottom right. The pedestrian crossing light...thing, don't know what to call it was coincidentally on because of some passer-bys, and it had just started. It was wet and raining, so neither of our brakes would have worked well, and I was expecting him to stop, but I kept going, and got hit where I drew the circle. He was planning on turning right (up on the diagram). I got knocked off my bike, suffered some scrapes and bruises.

In other news, someone seems to be spreading sexy images of me.

Creepy.

Also, my retirement plan is to become a baker.

Of course, he also admits to being a very bad driver... so he CAN'T be Batman..

It's enormous.
(But I'm very flexible. I was a dancer and gymnast until puberty! Then I suddenly had such big T&A that I couldn't do cartwheels or uneven bars without injuries... or my dad stopped paying for lessons... )

An image format that, while typically low res, with few colours, allows for transparency and animation.

The second page of this thread has nothing to do with cars or crashes, and very few posts in it are by me.

Ya, metrics all the way baby!!
 
I got hit on by an old guy in a white pickup truck shortly after I turned 18 (about 6 years). Banged up my knee pretty good but nothing to serious (it starts to ache on long hikes) but being a stupid college kid, working 60s a week between my job and going to school, with the rest of my time spent getting drunk and high and playing videos I wasnt very proactive at getting myself more cash from his insurance company. The adjustors will try to dick you around, and try to take advantage of your ignorance being young, don't let them. I had no one to turn too, but if your still with parents or know someone whos been through something similar then speak to them, also possibly speak to a lawyer (i wish i had).

Milk the fuck out of his insurance company. I only got 3,500 but I had nearly 2,500 in medical bills and physical therapy from it, so basically only got 1,000 in pocket cash. I was dumb and took the first offer, don't make the same mistake as me, bilk them for every penny you can!

We use metrics too. :mellow::mellow:

Still use mph though, and acres, and stuff, but I use metrics.

Except when measuring my height/weight, though sometimes I do...
:mellow:
 
I have experience with this too....
jeez.
One get information only if no immediate threatening injuries.
two go to hospital and get checked out no matter if you think you do or not
Three while going notify people you are going (911) family work etc. that way if you die on the way someone knows what happened. and roughly knows where you are.
four send all medical bill to the person who hit you. If they didn't give you info make sure you call 911 and also make sure you ask for an ambulance, then cahrge the people who hit you for the ambulance ride also.
five make sure you get checked out 1 to 2 months after just in case a bone break that wasn't visible then but may be visible now.

oh and if you have insurance call them too, they love billing other people for stuff (may even hire and pay for a lawyer for you).

been hit over 12 times (not sure I kiinda remember the one). Surprising how people in autos don't think too much about the people walking on the side of the rode.

Oh and the best tip I can give you - go limp when you get hit, fight the urge to tense up you will only damage yourself further if you get thrown and worse bounce.

4 trucks, 4 or 5 cars, 1 tractor, 2 busses, and may not count 3 bicycles. Being 6 foot 2 usually means being visible, but I still get hit.

i was under the impression that you guys actually used imperial (you do at least for distance because your speed limits are in mph)

in aus everything is measured in metric system, not just some stuff. (excluding subway sandwiches ofc)
 
Did that thrice, last time I had to spend a week in the hospital for a broken leg (my bike made a 90 degree angle around it ). The broken leg wasn't a problem (just had to go to therapy to be able to walk again), but the hospital sucked major balls. Glad to hear you're allright
