He hit me side on as I was going forward. Luckily, I bounced off and away from the car, but he kept going, onto my bike, dragging it a few more meters. The initial impact was probably 5-6 meters behind this picture. He was 85 years old and could hardly walk, so no chance of performing an emergency stop. I even had time to think 'he's seen me, he's going to stop' before he hit me. Luckily I was not injured at all and his insurance paid up. Police did not attend ("as I was not injured and they were busy"), so I guess he is still driving.
