Something to remember when you are hit by a car and they say that it has to be some much in damage to have a report filed...
can you truely tell if you bike frame is ok? I know that the way I was hit I was afraid the rear triangle was going to be bent, thus the frame ruined, I told the cop that and he asked how much a frame was and I told him, his responce was how can YOU tell if the frame is fine, I told him the only way to know is to measure everything and see if it is still true, the point was mute after I showed him my rear wheel, but I am not telling anyone to lie to a cop, that is bad, be like madpoque said that the true damage is not always seen at first look, be a pestamestic and give them the worse case in the amount of damages, worded correctly, so he will have to file a report
