FabSwingers.com forum: As if I got hit by a car this morning!

By (user no longer on site) OP

An old pensioner never slowed down on a give way as I was crossing. (Was wearing a high visibility vest) I went straight over the bonnet. Lucky I'm agile on my feet managed to take the impact at 20mph ish. Wouldn't be so lucky if she was speeding!

Didn't cause a scene though as I gave her the benefit of the doubt. It was very early she may not have expect me to cross.

Still don't excuse it I guess.

Yeh she was shaking terribly couldn't get her words out. I lost my nan several months back and all I could do was hope she was okay lol. She said she was going down the post office for her morning paper & asked if I was reporting her.. by that point I felt like that was enough for her she was pretty shook as it was.

I always stand at a crossing and wait for the car to come to a full stop before I cross. I don't trust any drivers.

I never assume anyone is going to stop. They could be looking right to see if there's a car coming, to give way to. If not, then I'm toast.

yeh junction just off a normal road onto a main road. I was more concerned about her cause her reaction made me pity her straight away as she was shaking & couldn't get her words out. I made sure she was okay to drive and where she was going and too be more careful in the mornings. She seemed very genuine a very very big error for her. X

I am confused, if she was on the road and it wasn't a pelican crossing, why did you cross in front of a car going 20 MPH?

Glad your ok. I noticed today in city centre they have taken out a zebra crossing and replaced it with a pelican crossing (outside the litten tree) it's amazing how many people walked out in front of my car not realising it's no longer a zebra crossing there will be an accident there soon!
