Well, My Summer's Over

[AppleTree]

Dh had been protecting me by not letting me see the police report, and now that I have the chance to read it, I realize that it was the COP (who wasn't there) who said I'd fallen over, and that I hadn't fully stopped. He'd even changed the placements of the vehicles involved on the little diagram, so it looked like the collision had happened before the crosswalk,(rather than the middle) like I'd just blown through the stop. Small town police! To be fair, the Driver is probably a new comer to this country, doesn't understand how these things work, and might have felt intimidated by the police and the claims handler from his insurance company. It's also possible that the claims handler didn't bother to use an interpreter, and the driver just didn't understand what she was asking (which was convenient for her...)

Guess I'm not too surprised the police were favoring the driver in their report of the accident, but gee whiz... that is great news there was an eye witness who came forward though... I think you are being very kind and generous in regards to the driver...maybe undeservedly, but forgiveness is the first step to healing, right? At least that is what they say... Glad to hear the you have been able to get out on your recumbent, sunshine and fresh air are healing balms.
