Surprisingly they didn’t. The driver stopped, asked to help. We called the police and an ambulance. I got questioned and all the cops told me was I should walk my bike in the crosswalk because it’s easier to ditch it and jump away if there’s danger. They gave a mild ticket to the driver. I departed with the ambulance and started my journey to getting to walk again with a shattered subtalar joint. It all went as well as the system allows. Life changing auto insurance payouts are a myth. Unless you lose a limb or never walk again, at which point your life is changed payout or not. 🥲
Walk your bike 🙄 … How about drivers pay attention where they are going?
I’ve nearly been hit by a car turning left, and I was walking my escooter across a crosswalk. Full high-viz gear and lights, and I had a “walk” signal, yet the driver (who had to skid their tires to stop) said that they didn’t see me. 😒😒😒😒
Well, they didn’t blame, rather were like, today we’ve had X occasions like this and it sucks but you just stand a better chance if you are free to jump out of the way. 🥹
