oscillik: glad to hear you're not seriously injured...
i hope it's not/won't be too painful... good luck for that!

SValx:
"it was quite funny actually. Mum dropped me off at
school and as she started to pull away she ran over my
footsie. she was going realllyy slowly though cos the lights
were on red, and she just kind of stopped on it. I was
banging on the windows, and it took her a while to realise
what had happened and then decide whether to reverse off it
or carry on driving!"

> the moment when the car was on your feet must have been
pretty awful/stressful o_o

glad you're alright mate

was once hit by a car when i was like 5 years old, and i
ended up with my whole left side of my body under the
vehicle that hit me. My left foot still hasn't really
recovered and also my left arm is slightly thinner then my
right arm (but could also be the big amount of hardcore
masturbation)

It sucks, I'm glad you came out unbroken. I was hit by a van
that ran a red light when I was younger and it snapped my
tibia and fibula, I saw my bone and it was really... red.
Recovered 100% though.

I've hit and run a bunch of cars while in my car.

i was once in a car crash. i was walking across a zebra
crossing , cigarette in mouth , traversing fairly casually ,
when an angry man in a bright yellow BMW ploughed straight
into me , sending me flying to the ground. I was rather
dazed and soon realized i had a few fractured bones. the
driver reversed , ever so slowly and stopped a few inches
from my torso. he rolled the window down and exclaimed "
it's fuck'in smokers like you mate , who fuck my lungs up at
the pub , you fuckin scumbag. " Subsequently he rolled the
window up and drove off , somewhat over the speedlimit.

I'm sure it was an accident and not an act of god trying to
rid the world of just one of the many wastes of time, space,
materials etc that you so spectacularly exemplify.

I once jumped from a van in that Beavis and Butthead style
tryin' to run at the road speed. Never works. Lots of
injuries and pain. I surfed the concrete with my torso for
several meters with hands trapped under. Pain pain pain...

Glad you're ok!
And get tha fuckin' helmet!
If you don't like bicycle helmets use a motocycle one!

hope you're alright (you sound fine from your replies : )
reading some of this made me cringe, like black foot and
seeing the bone.

fuck cars.

as someone already mentioned, i got hit by two last year!

after the second one, i decided to get a helmet. kind of
stupid not to get it after the first time, but i figured
getting hit by a car was a one time thing...

little did i know. the second time i ended up in an
ambulance.

you might not get a second chance.

my claim...i got hit by a bus 2 weeks ago, i was parked up
downtown when my phone went off and a passing bus slid out
and broadsided my vehicle, lucky the phone rang,otherwise i
would have been getting out and may not be typing this right
now, and the city fuckers wont even call me about fixing my
car yet

Yeah, a cheap motocross helmet without a visor/goggles when
you're riding a BMX looks wicked compared to a normal
pushbike lid. It practically screams 80s old school.

Glad you're alright Oscillik. Without wanting to sound too
preachy (this was definately the driver's fault, after all)
it might be an idea to try avoid over, or undertakes past
junctions in future. Drivers should always use the rear
mirror and the side one for the side they're turning into,
indicate, check over their shoulder and then start the turn.
Sadly, I'd say less than 5% do all that, even most of the
time. On a bike you're more vulnerable, so it's in your
interest to try to avoid accidents at all cost. As well as
"going up the inside" on left turns (you have to ask "why is
that car going slow enough that I can overtake them"- unless
it's v. heavy traffic, it's invariably because they're about
to turn or have slowed for a hazard you can't see), the
other one to look out for is overtaking (to the right), cars
that are stopped/slowing to turn left. Often they'll "flash
out" drivers at the junction they're turning into, who then
proceed to pull out, oblivious to the fact there's a bike
coming down the outside.

As I say, don't take it the wrong way or me trying to say it
was in any way your fault. I went mental when a mate told me
I should have "forseen" a bloke pulling out on me on a
roundabout (I couldn't see this car, he was obscured by
another car and he couldn't see me either, my right of way,
etc. yet decided to just pull out anyway).

Tango: I thought you were in Harlow? Good to see you and
hope you're enjoying Canada. If it's definately their fault
like your case, I'd get a hire car and ring them up to let
them know "I'm hiring a car while I wait for you to pay out
my insurance claim, naturally I'll be adding the cost of
this onto my claim". I know from bitter experience that it
doesn't half make them get a move on with dealing with your
claim, as every day is costing them.

not at all mate, i can see your genuine concern :)

most of the time i am usually quite alert, but that morning
was a bad one for me - i had already had high stress all
week from work, i had a terrible nights sleep...not to
mention relationship problems that were bearing down on me
so i'd be lying if i were to say i was 100% that morning

talking of Harlow, i was born there :)
