Thanks for all of your thoughts!
I haven't gotten the police report yet so we'll see what was said by driver and witnesses. Since I ride clipless, when I come to a stop sign I look all ways and then proceed. If I have to take a foot out I will.
The driver did call and leave her insurance number for us. Turns out she knows a mutual friend of ours (small town here)
Like one of my bike buddies said, getting mad won't do much on the healing end of things. Maybe one of these days I'll get a chance to talk to the driver and see her perspective. I figure that she has to live with this for the rest of her life. Perhaps that will be incentive to be more attentive at intersections.
I just wish cell phone usage in cars was totally banned not only for our sake but for all the people who suffer needlessly from inattentive cell phone users. I don't even like the idea of ANY cell phone usage by drivers!
