So it finally happened to me.
Approaching a junction, side road to my left before the lights. The left lane for straight on, right lane for a filter light. One oncoming lane, with two No Right Turn signs.
I'm in primary in left hand lane, there is stationary traffic in the right hand lane. Oncoming car driver cuts through the stationary traffic, ignoring the two No Right Turn signs.....and hits me, I'm travelling at ~20mph, lights have just turned green in front of me.
Managed to get driver license/details/a ride in ambulance. Driver left before police arrived.
Cracked rib and bruised calcaneus plus general cuts, bruises and pain. Pringled wheel, bent handlebars, bent crank arms, and assorted gouges and scratches.
