On my way home today, she (18 year old named Sian) walked out into the road without looking (on the phone too). I yelled at the top of my voice for her to stop whilst slamming on the brakes, but she kept going and I couldn't get out of her way.
Face meets helmet and we both went down with a hell of a thud. She got a broken nose, quite a bit of blood, but nothing more than that (thankfully). The ambulance and police attended and she got the all clear. I hung around until she was done to make sure she was OK to get home, a friend had come to get her too. She took full responsibility for it, so the police buggered off.
I got away with a badly bruised shoulder and a few cuts and bruises. I just feel so bad for knocking her down, even though I couldn't have avoided it... Made me think. should we all have public liability insurance? just in case!?
Also. any recommendations for a new helmet? mine had a big face-shaped dent in it and is cracked through the shell.
