News flash: World starts spinning in opposite direction

[jawnbc]

Just called Ickie Bickie (vehicle insurance for the proletariat!) for an update on mon scooter. The woman who hit me is going in to meet with an adjuster on Monday, so nothing will move forward until then. I don't have collision on the bike because...well, it's a plastic bike and the principles of physics make it entirely unlikely I would inflict damage on any car that hits me.

Speaking of physics, I love this bit: "the woman who hit you admits she ran the red light, but says the sun was in her eyes."

OK...she was driving easbound at 5pm in late summer, when the sun sets just before 8pm. In the west. Behind her. Right.

You're not going to be mean and actually invoke the magic of science !

They'll burn you at the stake.

I got rear-ended a few years ago by some Brits on holiday here, on a flat stretch of road. To my face they admitted liability etc. A week or so later when I was dealing with my insurance company they told me the Brits had said they had inadvertently rolled down the non-existent slope.

Just the once, dear? ;)

People are lame sometimes. I was soooo nice to this woman: I could have been a complete and utter arsehat about the whole thing. Good thing I set my standards of behaviour independent of those around me...usually.

NAAAAAA-AHHHHHH-AHHHHHH Stop it, San!

Perhaps the sun was shining into the rearview mirror, and thence into her eyes...

tree-lined street, surrounded by buildings. Not a chance.

My first thought was "oooh, loocky heeem!" But then again I get rear-ended by a pom 2-3 times a week on average. IN about 3 hours, in fact.

I think you need to find out where she lives and steal that car and drive it down the boat ramp near the south side of the Burrard bridge. (But that's just cause I'm an evil vidictive fuck.)

I can make that happen in model-space in CAD but no... computer says no
