Answering a PM...the right hook looks like this http://bicyclesafe.com/images-collisions/right-hook.gif

Well without generating the VC fight, you can't take the lanes for the entire 10mile commute (as apposed to the bike lane). In this state, I think you can even get a ticket for doing that. However, riding on or near the white line might be better (as suggested)

Thanks for your message, I am glad you are in relatively good shape (alive)... I am enjoying LOTS of trouble getting my damages taken care of, I am interested how long it takes you to get compensated for your damages. I have been fighting and arguing just for a copy of the police report! Island County SO isnt very helpful when it comes to sending copies of their reports. Glad I pay my property taxes!

Best of luck!

Don't you hate when invisible things are going faster than you thought they were? She must have mistaken you for a gust of wind.

Serious answer though: $$$$$$. You caught her lying. Liers don't deserve money.

My police report was on the floor of the ER. If you don't the get rpt at the time of the accident, I've heard you just go down and get it.

A witness gave my medical card to the ER. Aetna said they'd take care of the chargeback. No problem. Dr ordered PT for fingers, neck, back.
