TomahawkMike Aug 2017 7:13pm, 5 Aug 2017 834 posts	Quote Pin TomahawkMike I was at abingdon touring today and saw a car hit a parkrun cyclist. Cyclist fine. Car fine. But a couple of 70/80 year olds in the car gave unacceptable abuse to the poor lady who clearly made a mistake in pulling out of the car park. I know it's a shock but wtf with all the yelling. Idiots then wanted to pull over and check the car. Things is - given the way insurance works if I had been the driver (apart from being more concerned for the woman than the effing car) I would have checked she was okay and gone off. Insurance companies could treat it as 50/50 and cyclist could milk it (I am sure she won't -she was horrified).
