Nice ride in this morning. Most of the lights went my way and I got to
work in 40 minutes, 5 minutes faster than the bus/subway. And not even
riding my faster bike. And for a change, no one passed me!
On the way home and SUV just had to go through the stoplight when the
traffic was backed up so she was still in the intersection after the
light changed. I started out to go into front of her, clipped in and
then she wheeled around to try for the slow lane ... right where I would
be in a millisecond. I braked to full stop while trying to turn behind
her, leaving me way overbalanced to my right and of course I fell right
down in the intersection breaking my pump mount with my knee and
bruising my hands.
My question is, should I have asked her to pay me $30 for a new pump? If
she didn't could she get a ticket for leaving the scene? This question
is for next time, as usual in an accident I get dumb and don't think of
what I should do until later.

For email, a sense of wonder.
