So my first accident on bike happend hour ago.
Car didnt give me a way (he was turning right through, my lane) and I literally flew over his front with my bike still strapped to me. I think I did 360 before I hit a ground.
I hit him from a side with my front wheel, landed on my back on his bonnet (bike above me) and fell right on my left arm with feet still in straps.
At first he was trying to be polite and nice, but after I asked him if I could write down his plate he stood in front of it and kept asking what I want it for. He started to be more nervous, so I told him im gonna call police, but he kept saying ''what for, if you are hurt call an ambulance''. I didnt know what to do so I called my brother for an advice. I told him to either give me his name and contact number or I'll call the police. He just didnt want to police to arrive.
In a meantime when I was on the phone with my brother, he got in his car and drove away.
I was OK, just my shoulder was getting more and more painfull. I was pissed that he just drove away, so I went to police station and picked a ''Road traffic collision/Accident" form.
At home when I was checking my bike, I found that my front Aerospokk is a bit cracked around hub area. Not sure if thats only colour crack, or actual wheel crack.
His bonnet was a bit sctratched and had a dent (not that small). But he told me its fine...
Still dont understand that nothing more serious happend to me. Will see when I wake, if shoulder will be ok.
So thats my first ''oh shit'' moment...
Sorry for my bad english...
