Last weekend as I was riding in the bike lane alongside the truck, we reached acrossing and it turned to the right, (hit) me and my bicycle. Even more upsetting was the fact the driver didn't stop afterward. ， I was not injured and my bicycle was damaged, but stillusable.
Even days later I reported the event to the police, they failed to (proper) solve this situation or even return mycalls. Eventually, I decided (contact) University Student Legal Services for help about this matter. The small damage may not seem worth all trouble, but what if I had been seriously (injure)? Will anyone see punishment for breaking traffic laws and damaging my property?
Unfortunately, my experience is common, and(accident)between bikes and cars occur far too often. A comprehensive study(report) that of the nearly 3 000 cyclist motorist crashes that occurred between2000 and 2010 about 20 percent were hitandruns.
Bicycles are held to the same standards asmotor vehicles in most cases. means that cyclists must obey all trafficrules, and also have the right to get damages in the accidents. I urge both cyclists and motorists to become familiar with their rights and duties when sharing theroads.
