Acton - I'm overtaking stationary traffic on the Uxbridge Road heading west.
Car parked (in the cycle lane) on the inside of the traffic pulls out through a gap to head down the opposite lane and doesn't check for overtaking vehicles and BAM.
I'm ok apart from a chipped tooth, cut lip and some bruising. Front wheel is buckled - I can't blame the radial lacing for that...
The guy is pretty amicable afterwards, we exchange details but he believes I am in the wrong for overtaking in the middle of the road.
The police are "too stretched" to attend to the scene due to the strikes so I am left to write down everything I can remember and take the details of the pub manager who saw what happened... sort of.
Am I too cynical for thinking that I am never gonna see a penny out of this guy??? I'm pretty sure dental work is not going to be cheap.
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >
Mention another user by @username
For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
