[quote=Anonymous]It is not about the legal ramifications....it should be about doing the right thing. In 1983, I was a freshman in college in Melbourne FL; I was bicycling back from the beach (on a bike path) when I got clipped by a car. I was hurt; spent six months in a neck brace, and have had chronic headaches for about three years. The driver was confused. She was in her 80's, and did not realize she was on the bike path. She had 4 other accidents in the prior 6 months; her insurance had been canceled, but she continued to drive. Yes, she was ticked, and her car was towed. She did have her license revoked...I am certain there was no malice on her part, but, I was in pain for years after that. (there were no assets). It should not be about her legal responsibility. It should be about your ethical responsibility.[/quote]
