"I thought I might..."

Wow. Just wow.

Stay safe out there, ladies.

The appalling thing is that I'm willing to bet that the driver didn't face any consequences for that overt and admitted disregard for another human's life.

I was hit last Sunday 03/30/08. I haven't recieved the pollice report yet, but the driver told the officer that he DID see me. He got a ticket. I don't know what for yet.

Basically I was going south, driver was going north.. driver wanted to turn onto a side street which would make him cross my path.. I tapped my brakes and tried to make eye contact, there was a glare on the windshield so I didnt see his face.. but he stopped his car.. no blinker.. so I proceed.. then there he comes at me. I thought .. wow.. what is he doing?? As slow as we were going, I thought.. I'll just plop over onto his hood when we hit... no way... I flew straight up into the air and came down head first into his windshield.

He got a ticket. I got 122 stiches to my face.

I want to know what he was thinking.. but it really doesnt matter because nothing would be acceptable ya know?

That link will take you to my memory of the incident... the photos are linked in from there... they are gory gory gory... so don't look if you can't handle blood.

The good news is nothing was broken.. but his windshield and my bike.
