I never thought it would actually happen...

[Milo]

...but some f*cking mentally challenged bitch just ran over my foot at the lights!
Couldn't bloody believe it!

I was towards the right of the right hand lane at a junction and a stupid artic had decided even though he'd block off the whole road he'd drive on anyway.
If I'd have moved I'd have been blocking the other direction so I stayed put.
The woman obviously though i was holding her up so she tried to go to the left of me...running over my foot in the process. Not just the toes either, but right up to my ankle.
My foot seems okay (thanks to bike boots) but I'm just really pissed off which is very unlike me.

Grr!

Ouch! Hope you told her what she did

[Milo]

Oh yeah, she knew about it for sure with my shouting. Surely she must've also noticed driving over something very brick like!
Foot seems a little tingly, so I might be going down the walk in centre later.
Gonna let myself calm down first though - it's probably just in my head.

What the hell did you do? Does she even know she done it? You should have followed her and told her or got her number plate. It's silly bitches that make biking dangerous.
Glad your foot is ok. What about your boot. Toe sliders ok too? What kind of boots are they, they must be pretty good.

I would get it checked out ASAP just in case. Sometimes things don't show up for a few days. Did you by any chance get her registration plate ? If you did, then report it to the Police immediately, in case of pain later, as she would be "failing to stop" etc, and would look good if you needed to make a claim for injury.
Its a good job these bike boots are solid!

[Krs]

Get compensation

[Milo]

Naa, I'm pretty sure my foot's fine - though i know i shoulda got her plate. Just seemed really disruptive to the flow of traffic to sort it out there. Feel pretty silly for not stopping but all that was going through my head at the time was how angry i was.
I'm never an aggressive person and it takes a hell of a lot to wind me up, but somehow that instantly did it earlier and that in itself shocked me.

I've got a pair of 3 year old alpinestars - black leather/gore tex stuff.
They're fine and the zip's still working fine. Very good boots and have been great since I got 'em.
Imagine if I were wearing trainers or even flip-flops like I've seen some twats with on the roads before.

Glad to see you're alright mate.

If that was me, my feet would be a mashed pulp as I wear steelies...

Just wait until a woman driver does what was done to a pal of mines many years ago.

You're travelling along a down a fairly hilly straight road the odd parked cars on right right side of the road and then all of a sudden a woman driver is heading straight for you coming up the road on your side of the road and you've got no other option to let the bike go from under you as you can't stop in time with no exits to choose.

She swerves the bike just in time and continues on to drive and pins you under the car. Instead of waiting for emergency services lift the car off you, she prompty gets back into the car and reverses the front wheel over him again !

6 months in traction for a broken pelvis in two places, numerous broken bones and he even lost his spleen because when the car went back over she droves slowly ?


She didn't get prosecuted because there was no other witnesses to the accident and low behold because he is a motorcyclist he immediately becomes the criminal even when his bike slid down the correct side of the road except some passers by later on moved his bike off the road to remove any possible danger except that didn't allow the cops to see that he was not in the wrong.


Back to your problem, I would have certainly smashed her car lights in and then she would never to do that again !

My dad ran over my foot once in his Mondeo, then proceeded to stop with the car on my foot whilst I was screaming!
Car's spread their weight well so as long as it was less than 10-15 secs it will be fine, and I was only wearing Kickers so bike boots should be alot better.

I still would of done my best to put the stupid bints window in if that was me though, wouldnt have gone down too well on me dad's car

I was very tempted to do something but with being at a standstill and the bike in gear it would've been hard to use my left hand to do anything. My leg was also obviously too close to the car.
Plus - it would have been in view of lots of cars and pedestrians and wouldn't've ( ) given bikers a very good name.

Yeah, my dad's run over my foot before but that was just the end half of my foot and not right up to the ankle.

I once saw a lass run herself over entirely with a quad bike that she had been riding a few seconds earlier. Went up a steep hill a bit fast and flipped it. She landed on her back and the bike landed on its wheels behind her then ran on over the top of her.

If some cunt ran over my foot scuffing my bike boots, i'd made sure i scuffed my glove on their drivers side window/wing mirror/face.

[Milo]

Good news - my foot's fine today.
