Fortunetly for me, unlike the other thread, it was slow, side on, and I walked away.
Wide sort of 2 lane part of the A6 coming into manchester. Stationary traffic on the right, Free lane on the left where I am making progress. Car from the other lane is waved through a gap, doesn't check my lane and pulls completely out in front me. Smack.
I know the junction. I'm usually aware at that point of the possability, but didn't have the time or space to do anything more than try and brake/
Him " You must have jumped the light"
Me " It was Green!"
Him " I didn't see you"
Me " You didn't look." Points to bright yellow top. "I''m not hard to see"
Him " I was waved across"
Me " That doesn't mean you don't need to look!"
GRRRRR
But:
At least he stopped. And talked. And was about as polite as I was. After some discussion including a passer by he gave £30 which might sort of cover my buckled front wheel. Fortunetly the frame and forks seem OK.
I don't think he noticed the fairly large dent I left in his wing.
