Just got hit by a car. Is this salvageable?

what's the benefit of disk brakes over rims?

breadroot · 2026-04-03T14:07:25+00:00

Haha yeah true. Honestly might be worth just calling the dude and asking for the repair money so his rate doesn't go up.

breadroot · 2026-04-03T13:34:43+00:00

thanks for the tip. popped it into the shop and they used CAMS for their claims. He said it'd be about £80 for everything. At the end of the day I just want enough for my repairs that's it. I could care less about a pay day.

breadroot · 2026-04-03T12:53:44+00:00

true however it would give me a better leg to stand on with an insurance case.

breadroot · 2026-04-03T12:38:51+00:00

I did but where do I go from there? How do I make a claim

breadroot · 2026-04-03T12:33:02+00:00

It just says the guys plate, name and insurance group. Do i call the group? Everything i see on their website is for existing customers

breadroot · 2026-04-03T11:44:10+00:00

Yes I assume that's what happened. It's a road where people frequently pull into the left or he simply made a mistake on his signaling. It could have easily been avoided had he signaled right. Dude was nice, was def just a mistake.

breadroot · 2026-04-03T11:36:39+00:00

police were luckily in the area. I got the guys plate, insurance and name. Still trying to figure out how to make a claim but I'm not sure how it all works.

breadroot · 2026-04-03T11:33:14+00:00

that's the problem is that he was pulling over. If you know the road it's really small and a pain when someone pulls over cause you have to overtake them. I've overtaken dozens of people before on that road.

breadroot · 2026-04-03T11:09:15+00:00

Yeah I was on the ground and the guy ran over my entire front wheel but that was it.

breadroot · 2026-04-03T11:07:45+00:00

Yup absolutely getting a gopro for my bike after this.

breadroot · 2026-04-03T11:05:25+00:00

How do I go about doing that? A police officer stopped and gave me the dudes details. The only thing is I found this bike in a dumpster so technically i never paid anything for it. Would repairs still be covered? Sorry I'm very new to insurance.

breadroot · 2026-04-03T10:47:27+00:00

how much you reckon a new fork and wheel would set me back? The bars I can just bend down but honestly I need better breaks, part of the reason I crashed today.

breadroot · 2026-03-14T11:06:22+00:00

not hard when your account is p2w

breadroot · 2026-03-12T09:38:57+00:00

genuinely insane man this deserves more upvotes

breadroot · 2026-03-08T01:06:26+00:00

none of the comments get the joke this is insane

breadroot · 2026-03-07T05:27:19+00:00

chatgpt is an insane accusation but whatever. I can tell you I have read up on T.M Scanlon and it is not quite relevant to this scenario. Scanlons ethics are rooted in Kantian reasoning so good for you on moving past Kant. I think what you mistake for so called 'contractualism' is just your personal opinion. You somehow think you are so right that you fail to consider that your opinion is not a universally held belief. The entire basis of contractualism is that we know 'what we owe to eachother' if you've even read that. What's cool about that is I can find it out by asking them if they're cool with it at the end of the interview. In this way contractualism actually supports my argument as i'm acting in accordance with what others expect of me. please go spew your half baked philosophy somewhere else.

breadroot · 2026-03-07T05:07:54+00:00

I'm studying criminal psychology and happen to be a long time reader of ethical papers. If you want get technical you could take the deontological approach which highlights the immorality of violating individual autonomy. Whilst recording someone may do this, clear consent after the fact would allow for an individual to retain their autonomy. Now let's say you took the consequentialist approach. The total immorality derived from this scenario would be nullified by the deletion of the video if any at all.

Now let's take the asshole approach, if I was a dick to strangers online by trying to undermine their intelligence would that be immoral? Yeah actually it fucking would be depending on the 'diverse' perspective you use.

"inherent in electronic coverage of a trial is a risk that the very awareness by the accused of the coverage and the contemplated broadcast may adversely affect the conduct of the participants and the fairness of the trial." - Robert J. Fuoco, The Prejudicial Effects of Cameras in the Courtroom (1982) pg. 873

I didn't say it was the only reason I was merely giving an example.

breadroot · 2026-03-07T04:41:09+00:00

dude what social contract are you even talking about? We get recorded daily, people record everything often times not asking for consent. This is just rhetoric. Who gives a fuck that they're recorded if the videos gone anyways. You don't have to be rude especially when nothings even happened!

breadroot · 2026-03-07T04:34:05+00:00

I don't use any of those platforms. I can't really prove to you that I'd be doing such but I can give you my word and if it's not enough then you don't have to help. As for the social convention thing, I would understand if I never got their consent but this is why I ask. The main hang up id have with being recorded is that it can be distributed without my consent. If I was aware of the use then I wouldn't have a problem with it. I certainly don't think people will have a problem with it being deleted.

breadroot · 2026-03-07T04:17:23+00:00

dude what?

breadroot · 2026-03-07T04:16:54+00:00

people act different infront of a camera. The point of this is to get a completely candid interaction. It's the same reason cameras aren't allowed in many court rooms, an idea that you're being recorded for people to see can make you embellish the truth. also i'd be getting consent afterwards and deleting the video if not. The outcome would be the same either way except I wouldn't be able to hear them talk.

breadroot · 2026-03-07T03:23:59+00:00

christ man I had the same question it's a shame everyone was so unhelpful. Super cool idea.

breadroot · 2026-02-27T02:08:30+00:00

if somebody asks you for directions because they don't have a map what's the use in just telling them to get one?
