16.45, I was passing the end of Baytree rd, heading north, bike (grey Specialized Sirrus) under the rear nearside wheel of a BMW turned into and blocking Baytree, scrapes on the road where bike had been dragged, cyclist named Chistrian apparently unhurt, on his feet, walking and talking, witness from the building site opposite was directing traffic around and diverting it away from the site. Waited until the police attended, didn't feel I gave the cyclist enough info on what to do, would like in future to have a couple of cards with the pertinent guidelines on them in my bag and preferably never have to give them out...

Road Peace are working on leaflets like that... though used in more distressing situations. Could be worth having something for non fatalities. Things like don't move the bike, was an eye test taken, etc.

Might be worth putting some of the main points in the very useful 'what to do in case of an accident' thread on some sort of card format.

Formatting Help

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:

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

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
