That's what you get for being honest! A few years ago, I ran my bicycle into a car (legally her fault, since she had a stop sign and I didn't) I was too dazed to ask for her name and phone #, but she offered them and I took them. WELL....
Smashed another $30 bike helmet, bent the frame, lost my job because I couldn't work with a separated shoulder (that really hurts if you're wondering) Found out the name and phone # she gave me were fake. I decided that I would file the accident report, since she was breaking the law by not doing so, maybe they'd do something...
Insisted on sending the officers to my home to take the report; they obviously didn't want to be there, and ignored most of what I said.
The only comfort I had was knowing that somewhere in the city was a white Jap sedan with a dent the shape of my shoulder in the passenger door.
So,the moral of this is, if you'd just kept your mouth shut you'd probably be fine!

Mine was Saturday,a kid on a BMX bike blows a stop sign on a bike path comes
into the street and hits my Dak, Kid has no brakes on his bike did'nt do any
damage to my Dak screwed his bike up a little, I get out the kids ok scraped
up a little and scared he says he's alright and just heads for home. I call
the cops when i get home
and they tell me to come down to pick up an accident report i get there they
tell me the mother filed a report and i'm ticketed for leaving the scene. Now
I gotta spend 600.00 for an attorney to beat a 150.00 ticket so I don't get
my license suspended
for an accident I did'nt cause. Cops and the Iowa DOT have no sense of right
and wrong.
There I feel better .
