    You all did see that the guy on the scooter HIT the guy on the bike knocking him into the car, right? Hardly the cyclist's fault - if anything the car owner should be talking to the scooter driver and getting HIS insurance info......

    And that is why I have been know to open my doors in traffic jams. Bikes or scooters or whatever need to stay in the lane just like cars.

    And another reason I hate Adobe flash player wanting to plant strange files on my computer with a box that blocks the screen even when 'deny' is clicked multiple times.

    Good point. If I was that cyclist I wouldn't have just rode off, 1. it is wrong and 2. I would have been testing for correct fit and protection of scooter dude's helmet on the pavement. :mad5:

    I don't know what laws they have over the pond but if the driver tried to get insurance money from a liquor cyclist in NC he would have been out luck.

    Ouch, poor car owner went after the wrong person letting the biker escape! In CR you can expect a scratch or 2 due to the large amount of bikers doing this.

    In CR you'd need armour plated doors to catch all those bikers. The funny thing I see the most is the bikers wear the full face helmets like a hat which hard to imagine so I'll have to snap a photo
