Partner was hit by turning car where moronic driver didn't turn head to check for pedestrians, got a 25k settlement through lawyer (they took 1/3 for work on contingency). The insurance company offered nothing at first and told her to fuck off

As a cyclist I have near misses every month, commuting as I do through a busy town during both school runs. Normally it's women who seemingly have zero situational awareness. Or shit-skins, who are just dumb.Fortunately I'm extremely good at reading the road and see shit before it happens. Something I attribute to my time as a London fixie riding courier in the late 90s.

Just tonight I ran a red after hesitating, thinking "As soon as I pull out, there's gonna be a bus right there."There was a bus right there.

Numerous ones over the years. But the closest would have to be me as a pedestrian one August afternoon in 1991 waiting for the crossing light. I was standing on this island waiting to cross road on right when I saw a young female driver blow thru the red light across street and t-bone a car approaching from my left. I instantly saw the t-boned car veering towards me and I had just enough time & reflexes to jump behind this light standard when the vehicle hit it and was stopped. One helluva bang! I was less than 2 feet away and was showered head to toe in hot coolant, glass and shards of plastic. I had some some minor 1st degree burns and the picked some glass out of my scalp. I was washing glass and pieces of platic out of my hair for 2 days. To this day I place myself so that the pole is between me and the traffic flow.

I've been t boned twice, first time I want wearing a helmet and the back of my head the ground, instant lights out. Surprisingly I didn't die. Second time I just bounced off the car. Both times I recovered in about a week. As a full time courier of over 10 years, I've hit the ground more times than I can remember, I have scars I don't remember how, but every incident are I ride a little more paranoid, the way I ride now is oddly safe for as reckless as I am

Yeah, fell asleep while driving through a tunnel, woke up because there were these safety bumps in the middle of the road, shaking the car, which made me go back onto my lane. 3 seconds later and I would have frontaled a huge truck inside a tunnel, which would have turned me into flesh sauce. Don't drink and drive, but I think tired and drive is WAY more dangerous because you underestimate it so much. Also thank you whoever invented those tunnel midroad bumps
