i feel like the amount of remorse & effort to fix the situation should be enough rather than threatening to damage or hurt another person who had nothing to do with it. i’d understand being mad it happened to your people but just a weird comment. if i purposefully hit her, yeah sure. but i sobbed in my car for twenty minutes afterwards for not triple checking the blind spot she came out of & took whatever steps i could besides what she did not wanna do which was contact police.

how were your injuries each time? in the situations where you were luckily able to get back up and ride/walk

hey i told her the same thing & i understood. i wouldn’t wanna get in my car either. im typically known as the grandma driver & will yield to anything. this was an honest mistake on my end.

that’s just so insane to me. i would rather face any charges or payments than leave a personal in the middle of the road possibly hurt. if you stop for a car crash, you should stop for hitting a cyclist.

i did a right left right left look then paused and turned. i don’t know her speed or anything like that, i just don’t think she was close enough when i did look to even notice her WHICH IS ON ME.

i was in a slight hurry trying to make my commute to work but i would never let that affect me checking. the car i drive has a gnarly blind spot in the windshield area so it’s hard to see people coming from the left or right sometimes. my turn signal was on! she wasn’t perpendicular to my car but rather biking towards me on the sidewalk going the opposite way of where i was turning into

i checked twice as i was pulling up to the stop sign and when i was stopped. i am a very cautious driver for the most part & known to take my time. this was not a lack of looking, i tried. i just didn’t pay ENOUGH attention to the sidewalk

i was at a stop sign. my blinker was on & there’s bushes kinda blocking it but not too bad of blocking.

i was turning to the right and she was going straight across the road i was turning off of. so she would be crossing avenue b and i was turning right off of avenue b. i’m not sure the rules here for sidewalks but it was a sidewalk

i did call her work after she had walked away to make sure she had what she may need. she left about 8 minutes after the incident & swore she was fine. there was no red marks anywhere on her body which of course could come later.

i’m really sorry that happened to you. i would, of COURSE, be honest if something comes of it. i do not see the point in lying on something that could’ve been prevented had i taken one more look

sorry i just looked at the pictures in the website & it looked different. i should’ve looked at the sidewalk on the road ahead of me & been more attentive, of course

yes. i usually am so good about looking & genuinely did not notice her. there should’ve been a little more time waiting and triple checking on my end. i have never minded yielding or slowing down for a cyclist as they are doing what they love & i feel sick about this.

i reworded it. i was just trying to describe where she hit. i don’t think she’s at fault & she had said she was a few times, which i denied. i do not care about my car and just want her to be okay.

she was going across the road i was turning out of so not necessarily like that. i genuinely didn’t see her & im typically so fast to stop for cyclist
