i'm curious, what would the correct maneuver be? if a car is coming directly at you from the side, you have no more room on the other side to move over, you don't have enough space or power to accelerate out, and aren't able to brake quickly enough to completely avoid the car? btw The average (median) reaction time is 215 milliseconds for humans. a car can quickly change lanes in under half a second. that leaves you with about a quarter second to move your bike to the outside of the lane and stop.

you keep saying you need a police report but i don't understand why this would change anything? the girl who hit me fled. the police only had my statement
