Well that fucking sucked.

EejitWoman blows a red light by about 3 seconds...just as I enter the intersection on my hog scooter. I saw her in enough time to reduce our impact somewhat, but she still caught my front wheel and I still went down.

I'm fine--not a scratch, in fact. The bike has lots of scratches, rattles and won't turn over. It's now in the custody of ICBC. To her credit she fully admits she ran the light and someone stopped and gave me his card as a witness.

Being bikeless for several weeks will suck hard though.

Uggg! Sorry to hear that! I hate red-light jumpers. Been nearly caught a few times, and now enter every intersection as the 2nd vehicle through - use a car as the battering ram!
I am all for red-light cameras. They are everywhere in the UK, and the statistics of reduced collisions is mind-boggling.
Hope you get your bike back soon.
Hugs
