+1 for calling Bruce and being frustrated the police aren’t doing more.

Have you contacted the driver directly? If he/she’s a decent person, she/he may pay up without a lawsuit.

Surprisingly the guy does not answer his cell phone, or the few times the police officer who helped me out tried to contact him.

Thanks for the responses. Given that my injuries were slight, my days off work were covered by sick leave, and that my medical bills have not been too severe, I doubt I can sue the guy for much, though I may contact a lawyer just in case. I am dealing with my car insurance company to try and recover expenses, though I am not sure how it will affect my premium rates (in a fair world it should not affect them at all, but we live in a world where a guy like this gets to keep driving). My annoyance right now is the fact that it appears there is no consequence for driving without insurance, even if you run over a cyclist. All you need to do is give a fake insurance policy number, and hope that the police don’t actually follow up.

Cheers

I would take W&OD to FFX Co Parkway, then head south on the sidepath. Follow the map from there. Wall Rd. Goes through from Centerville Rd.

Thanks, I think that will be what we’ll do, sounds like getting across Centerville Rd will be a little tricky.
