Whether you get the scoot you were on back on the road, or get a new one, you need to do up a side-view mirror silhouette made in adhesive vinyl to stick on the bike somewhere, WWII fighter kill-count style.

pr0zac posted:Yeah it seems thats the best idea. I'd been thinking if I held to the right I'd be less likely to get cut off because people would be more likely to see my headlight when glancing back. I probably shouldn't have assumed people would be glancing back. Live and learn. Yeah, that's probably the worst place to be. Most people in cut-you-the-gently caress-off range glancing into their rear-view mirrors will have you obscured by their own C-pillars in that spot. With a quick glance in the side-view, they'll likely be looking towards the center of the lane (where cars would be) and overlook you/think you're in their lane already/leaving the other lane. If you stay left, not only are you slightly more visible, you'll have that extra 2/3 of a lane to notice idiots moving into your lane to honk/take evasive action/what-have-you.

 Holy loving poo poo. That's pretty much a worst-case scenario right there, absolutely amazing that you both survived. I'm really glad you did, and hope you and your boss continue to recover smoothly.

threeskin posted: Daaaaaaaamn.That makes the 2 broken fibulae on our roller derby league look like hangnails, and both those girls are in wheelchairs/required surgery etc. The fact you're allowed to use a walker already is a really good sign, actually. Glad you made it through and are on the mend. I take it from the wording of your post it was a hit & run? Any sign of traded paint or anything on your bike, or is the "getting clipped by a car" just the best guess given the results of the accident? Definitely got a jaw-dropping x-ray out of the deal, hope you continue to heal up quick.

Pretty sure he meant "who gives a poo poo" as in "who gives a poo poo if his vlog is awesome, help anyway" but I could be wrong. Internet after all. v  v

Dutymode posted:I've never heard of this. When did pedals not retract? Given he was talking about bones poking out, I think he was referring to xtal's collarbone injury. That said, I'm guessing he somehow swapped accelerator pedal and steering column. Not really sure how that happens, but hey.

You also have to remember insurance companies make money by not paying for things. That, combined with the straight-up uninsured means many costs need to be rolled into the price so that eventually it gets paid by somebody. This also means hospitals have to employ a literal army of workers just to generate & properly file the purposely Byzantine paperwork, which is different for each and every insurer. The cost of services needs to cover all of their salaries & benefits as well.
