willdasexybeast Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 hi i have started this topic to see how many people have been hit by carless drivers while riding their bikes. i got hit earlier today and am pretty pissed off to be honest as this is the 4th time in about 2 years. what makes matters worse is that i was riding on the pavement.

the judge Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) how many people have been hit by carless drivers Just found this spelling mistake rather funny/ironic If you was riding on the pavement and got hit you could probably take them to the cleaners couldn't you?

Technical Tom Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Yeah i have been hit by a car, not just any car but a Landrover Discovery, Got hit at about 35mph and got straight back up and checked that the bike was ok first. lolTom.

willdasexybeast Posted June 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 i suppose that is quite a funny spelling mistake. luckily for me this time me and my bike did not have a scrath on it. which is more than i can say about the car, it had to be about £1000 worth of damage no jokes. u dont normally hear of the cyclist doing over a car do you!

Gilman Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I have been hit by two cars in the past. THe first one they hit me head on, I don't remember too much because i blacked out for a moment. I was told afterwards that my head hit the hood of the car and then I bounced backwards about 3 feet or so in front of the car on the cement. The second one I was riding home from work, and was turning at an intersection. The car had a stop sign that they ran through, while I was turning. They only hit the front part of my bike, It folded my front wheel and turned my bars, and I fell to the ground. Needless to say I was not hurt, but I needed a new wheel.I know aboutt a dozen or so people that have been hit though. I know one guy that was hit by a dump truck, and was hospitalized in intencive care for 3 months. but he is fine now and riding his bike once again.

fruitbat Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Been hit once quite badly, riding downhill on pavement past a scrap yard near me and there is a huge 10 foot wall hiding the entrance/exit, as soon as i got to the end of the wall a pickup pulled out, i had absolutly no chance of even thinking about hitting my brakes and went stright over the bonnet and landed about 20 foot away with a few scuffs and cuts, like Nadine says the first thing i checked was that my bike was ok which it was, car was a little dented but nothing to worry about, bleeding hurt though and i always slow down whenever i now get to that wall!Frooty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egg Fried Rice Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 this hasnt got anything about cars but about 2-3 weeks ago, me and my mate decided to go to southampton for a ride. Got on the train from bognor regis, changed at barnham and we was off to southampton, only a fewer stops than normal so it was quicker and we went straight past a station at full speed without stopping and then for some reason, the train had its brakes on full and me and my mate was like "WTF! did he just miss the stop and now hes going back?" but it just stayed there and then a train man came along and said"stay calm boys, we've just run someone over"my mate and i was like we had to stay on that train for 2 hours!! it was quite an experience.John K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaXsteri Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Summer brings out all the idiots. Fact Today at work i witnessed two (low speed) accidents from careless drivers, and had numerous people pull out in front of me or otherwise try to destroy my van. But its not just the drivers, its the pedestrians too. I've lost count of the number of people that have tried to dive under my car, or wander into my bike recently I've never been hit by a car on my bike, but came close when someone decided red traffic lights didn't apply to them. Trials brakes saved the day though and stopped me dead Be careful out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaffacakes Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I had a head on with a car on my Ped, That wasn't much fun. Rode into the back of a car going down a hill a few month's back aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 if you have under 8 gears or no seat its legal to ride on the pavements. Who told you that out of interest? No one seems to have been given a difinitive answer, only what they think should be right or what their dad's mate's grandfather was told by a drunk man who saw a policeman once.Never been hit by a car luckily, i ride on the pavement as much as possible which cuts chances down alot.
