I got hit by a car three weeks ago. Slow traffic that I was riding up the inside of (as I am allowed to do). I was riding along side of one car just as she just turned into a parking space to our left propperly wiping me out. Fuck, broken arm. The womans excuse was that she couldnt see me as I was right in her blind spot. I did point out that that is why you check your blind spot. She looked at me blankly. Aparently that inst a thing in New Zealand (literaly the worst drivers in the world).
Anyway, she called an ambulance and waited untill I had gone. The police arrived and charged her with cairless driving causing an injery. While this could have been a lot worse I do feel bad as she is going to lose her licence. The police are charging her irispective of weather I want to charge or not. At least they are doing something about it!
Still, 2 weeks of the bike and 6 weeks in a cast in the middle of summer sucks fucking balls!
