Thanks for all of your lovely messages.
She's come off remarkably well considering what she's been through. Very bruised ribs. A few scrapes. She went over the bonnet bashing her ribs on the bars on the way and then dumped in the road that the car was turning into. By the time her face hit the road she'd tumbled away most of the energy so a split lip and nowt else. The driver got out, took one look at her, got back in and drove away. A witness who works with him had to go and get him(!?). When I turned up he was telling her how traumatised he was by the event (?!) and how damaged his car was. He then explained to me that she'd been in his 'blindspot'. I pointed at the enormous painted silhouette of a bike and green tarmac that we were standing next to and that he'd taken her out because he'd driven across the bike lane without checking - he told me that there was no need to be nasty! He wants to be glad I'm a pacifist

How long before the driver returned to the scene? Are we looking at the potential of a hit and run? They could be in trouble if that’s the case.
Thanks for the update.

I'll assume you got the necessary details, Mickle. Make sure you give his insurers reason to hand him future premiums that will make his eyes water.

Sorry to here about Mrs M.Hope she is soon up and about.
The man is clearly a plank report it even if it just makes him sweat a bit it will be worth it. Glad Mrs M is mostly ok but ribs can be painful though so no making her laugh too much and gentle on the hugs. Having seen my Mrs in heap in the road i know it's nice to see given what happen think you did well keeping your cool.

The polis are involved, we went straight there after the hospital. The WPC at the desk is a cyclist who uses that bit of road every day so was uber sympathetic.
