Went through a car window

Yeas, eventually I lose my temper and I will finally give in, race the guy and get in front of him. Yeas I do it too close, he's shoving past me to get through red lights. He's in a hurry disregarding his safety and affecting other peoples commute. Sometime a taste of your own medicine is the best remedy. I'm not dangerous I just make him aware.

Of course in London no one loses thier temper and its a metropolis for traffic with everyone getting it spot on all the time.

Forgive me for being honest.

And yeas I am a bell ringer, my Grandma got me into it quite young and she needs help with the handbell ringing club too, how did you know that?!?!

Aah, you're from Yorkshire.

Yeas - plural of yea (Noun)
An affirmative answer: "they would give the final yea".
(in the US Congress) An affirmative vote.

Amongst all the campaigning and other great things, I can't recommend joining BC, CTC, LCC or similar enough for this very reason if you are a regular cyclist. No matter how good a rider you are/think you are, for a relatively nominal fee you are covered and supported in the event of an accident.

From personal experience, where I was involved in an accident similar to the OP'er (taxi pulled up in a no-stopping/no-parking lane to answer his phone), the peace of mind that the insurance covered all costs was a huge relief. It was a big taxi firm, so repairs to the vehicle, loss of earnings, legal and admin fees were all dialled up to the max. It was a few years back and I'd probably still be paying for it now if it wasn't for a BC membership.

From your comments in the other thread no-one will have any sympathy if you're an aggressive rider with poor brakes. It sounds like you're lucky to be dealing with an agreeable driver, so I'd say just get everything in writing and pay up.

Good luck

You probably mean the opposite. :)

ha^ thanks Oliver missed out 'enough'. Apologies, I was running through the possible organisations. You can probably give a more balanced and persuasive reason to join than simply 'if you crash into something, you don't pay for the damage'.

If you crash into something, somebody else pays for the damage.

Well, it also counters the frequent (and often unjustified) reproach from drivers that people on bikes are not insured. Needless to say, there are many other reasons to join--supporting campaigning, making membership numbers visible so politics takes note, etc.

Sage advice, I will look into this up here. Thank you.

I'm not an aggresive rider, that was an example of when I became an aggresive rider in an 'Aggressive cyclists" thread.
