I was knocked off my bike the other day by an impatient driver in a parking lot.
Since I wasnt hurt and the driver was bigger than me I resorted to cursing.

Later I called the local police and asked whether there was any legal violation
and got some lame answers and was told it was probably an accident.

So my conclusion, The only way clueless uncaring or angry car drivers will
ever take responsibility is to have a strict liablity law like in Europe, where
the onus is on the motorist. After all if I had been injured, it would not
have made much difference to the police as they seem all too ready
to be apologists for motorists.
