[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]If you had hit her, you would be in the wron[/b]g. But she’s also an entitled moron. Bikers should never be allowed on the right side of a car and certainly not ride up the side of one signaling to turn.[/quote]

That is not true.  But the problem is pointing out that the bicyclist didn't break for the intersection.  how do you do that?[/quote]

I bought a front and rear dash camera system after I was hit by a woman on a bicycle last year. I had no way to prove the cyclist ran the stop sign and crashed into the side of my car. The police who responded said if I’d had video they could’ve cited her. As it was, the amount of damage to her bike and my car, and the particular nature of the damage to my car, were both sufficient proof to my insurance company that she was clearing traveling faster than 15 mph when she ran into me. And that would only have been possible if she’d run the stop sign, because a bicycle cannot accelerate to that kind of speed from a stop in the 20-odd feet from the stop sign to where she hit me. But I bought a camera system for any future encounters with cyclists. Even after the insurance investigation she was still contacting me and threatening to sue me. I thought I was going to need a restraining order at one point. [/quote]
