• Got knocked off a few weeks back, coming down a hill, driver pulled out on me. Luckily just battered and bruised, no damage. Exchanged details etc.

    Initially I didn't think to report it to police, but then concluded that actually best to have a record in case they weren't just bruised etc.
    police were v helpful, explained as I was injured they have to investigate.

    The outcome of which is that the driver will be sent on a course, with a driving assessment at the end to make sure they are fit to drive.

    Seemed like a really good outcome for the driver to get some training, a fine etc would of achieved very little.

  • How was he/she during the incident? Apologetic?

    I'd love for the c*nt from my last accident to get sent to a course but I'll be lucky to get some money in the end.

    I'd feel a bit sorry for sending them to a course when they are apologetic and helpful but they still managed to hit a cyclist so...

  • Yes, always make sure there's a record of crashes. Good to hear you had a follow-up experience that satisfied you.
