Hit twice in the same week..
So,
This past week I've managed to get hit twice. Nothing major of course, or else I wouldn't be typing this.
Anyways,
The first incident was my cruising (In the bike lane) down a hill, approaching a gas station. A lady (Apparently didn't see me) and pulled a right, right into the bike lane to get into the gas station. Unfortunately, she didn't see me in the bike lane and I hit her passenger side door (going about 8mph).
I said, to make sure to be more careful and to look next time. She broke down and started crying in front of me. And the gas station attendent lecturing her so I figured that she probably learned her lesson.
The second incident was today, the basic same thing happened. But the person just sped off. (Hit and Run)
My question is, if this happens again. (Like the first incident), and one part of my bike ends up broken, then do I just have them pay me on the spot? Or do I have them give me their insurance/ call the police?
I've never even been in a car accident before So I have no clue.
Thanks Guys
