Hit a woman this morning and got a fine

Hi there,
I live in Manchester and was riding in this morning, as I was turning right at a junction (green light for me) a middle aged business woman stepped out in front of me we crashed but no one went down. A couple of plain clothes police saw it happen and came running over, she told them she wants to file for assault and basically they talked her out of that and issued me an on the spot £80 for "using threatening and inappropriate actions in a public place under the section 5 public act" I disagreed and said what if I don't accept the fine and they said il spend the day in the cell by this time id been sat in the back of the car handcuffed for an hour already so took the fine and got on my way, the police were sound about it all but still feel like the blame shouldn't have been on me, iv basically learned from it to calm it down abit when in the city centre, oh also he asked how many breaks I have on my bike, its fixed with a front break so I said 2, the rear wheel is directly connected to the cranks so you use your legs and he seemed fine with that, felt I needed to share my experience with you.

Shit, bad luck on the plain clothes police being around. :(

Cyclist v middle aged business woman - you are never going to win that one. Nice one on the brake talk though.
