This one near NE Knott & MLK



Fortunately not by a run away driver.

Just by someone that wants to 'settle under the table'



Go figure - the driver works in the insurance industry and she suggested to

my friend that 'we just take care of it'



THAT and the police officer did NOT write a report because my pal stated she

was not too badly injured physically. I thought the cops filed reports on

scene and the doctors and chiros figured out physical suffering. I would

not leave a judgement like that to a beat cop. The bike is wrecked. Seems

like the dollar value on the repair might warrant a report for any future

claim.



Makes me wonder how many other incidents are going unfiled at the cop shop.

If each call does not generate a report, then the numbers that researchers

depend on >> incidents counted from police reports may be unrealistically

LOW.



I do know that since our report was filed at least one lawyer used the

report to solicit us to use his services.



Please hold good thoughts for our recovering pals. Each is sad that she

cannot ride right now. Its specially bad since the clean air action days

are upon us - and the bus - while a moderately viable alternative - takes

twice as long.



Later,

Z
