On the flip side: some old dude ended up in the hospital because he rode his ebike into the back of my husband’s car. No helmet, didn’t even attempt to brake, bystander said it looked like the dude even sped up before the collision. We even declined the cop’s offer to issue the dude a citation. Insurance auto defaulted to finding the car driver at fault. Inattentive morons on ebikes are still inattentive morons.
I have nothing against ebikes, but I think they deserve stricter safety requirements like required helmets and better brakes.
It’s not like I’m any safer going 20mph downhill on my regular bike. Those shitty caliper brakes should just be outlawed and disc brakes made universal.
So let me get this straight: a police officer offered to provide paperwork proving the other party at fault for the collision, you said no, the insurance company sided with the party you chose to absolve of guilt, and you have a problem with that?
ACAB but when the pigs are involved, you need to make the system work for you.
I didn’t feel like being vindictive to a person that was about to be fucked up, down, and sideways with hospital bills because of this shit hole country’s healthcare system.
The only reason I ended up in the hospital from an ebike accident is because a fucking car hit me lol
