Re: *CF RTA Survey*
Two accidents, ever.
Me a 13 year old cyclist wearing a bright pink Puma top. I was following the road at a right hand bend in the road which also had a road joining from the left. The driver pulled out on me as I got to the right hand bend, I hit the right hand wing of his car and then bounced across his bonnet, ending up on the road the other side of his car. No injury to me. All this happened just after a cop car had gone by, and the driver witnessed the incident in his rear view mirror, the copper turned round immediately. The driver who pulled out on me was so shaken up, the copper had to move his car for him. The copper then had to drive him back to my house the cop had to ask my Mum ( I was 13) whether she wanted to prosecute him for dangerous driving, she didn't. He was in tears. He was in his fifties.
Second was me driving a car, under a railway bridge followed immediately by a crossroads where I had right of way. Another car was going across the crossroads. The driver pulled out as I approached, no chance of stopping. He admitted liability straightaway, and said he was concentrating on young kids (who were there) about two hundred yards up the road he was pulling in to. Driver was approx 22 and male.
