Whoah - Not good news.

Like everyone else here, glad to see you're OK.

Any police involvement? It was a hit and run after all...

I almost got hit while pon a traffic island by an old guy in a Toyota last year... He missed the road he was aiming for an ddrove right across the middle of the island... And I don't think he realised he'd done anything wrong either.

The sad thing is he was killed about a month later after he got confused on a level crossing and started to drive down the tracks. And even then he probably never knew what a danger he'd become.

I did call the local cops to report it, the conversation went something like -

Did you get their number ?

No

Anyone hurt ?

Not really

OK, Bye

Well, no offence, but what else did you expect? There's quite a few Micras out there and an alarming number are driven by blind old men...

Toady man, you seem to attract the weird and bizarre people to have an accident with. Can I ride close to you on the annual rideout

Glad your ok though. And seriously saddened that you didn't get her number, unfortunatly you have let her escape to do it again. Slap on the wrist for you.

Hey! I made that joke on the kebab gp after that guy hit you.

Si, if you're not hitting pedestrians, you're being hit as one. Are you on a crusade to prove that walking is dangerous or something?

Thats just outrageous.Lucky you were wearing the right gear for walking down our dangerous pavements
Its a sad fact that the Police will not be interested unless you tell them someone is injured.The days of them Policing the roads are long gone.Thats done by cameras now and theyonly get involved if they absolutely have to.Hence mad bat will continue to terrorize the area.
