Don't run red lights, wear a helmet, use hand signals, get some cycle lights(front and rear) and, FFS, don't run red lights!

Just wanted to post an update.

Yesterday, the driver's insurance company called me and immediately agreed to settle with me. I guess they were pretty willing to work with me since the driver had given me such a hard time and apparently not reported my information to the company, thinking that they wouldnt eventually get a copy of the police report.

I'm satisfied. They paid for all the repairs to the bike, and $200 of compensation, which included 30 dollars for everyday it was in the shop. I'm pretty satisfied given that I had no injuries and my bike wasn't totaled.

Thank you for your advice everyone
