As long as this isn't a cheap excuse to reset everyone's stats, I'm looking forward to it

Yesterday at around 17:30 I was involved in a traffic collision on my scooter. A woman didn't look before pulling out and I impacted with the side of her car, went over her bonnet and hit the road head first.
Luckily I was wearing a helmet so that took 90% of the impact. I can tell you this was one of the most terrifying events to happen to me to date.

I was laid in the middle of the road for a good ten seconds until a nice man came up and helped me up and asked if I needed an ambulance and graciously helped me pick my scooter up out of the middle of the road. I found it strange how I was so concerned with the driver that made the mistake. I wasn't really bothered about myself but I felt an enormous need to comfort her and make her know I didn't blame her even though she was the one at fault. I even gave her a hug to reassure her and let her know I held no bad feelings towards her.

The thing that pissed me off the most was not the fact that I was in pain, my scooter and helmet were damaged and I was in shock or even that the woman was shaken, but the fact that some fucking CUNTS were beeping their horns at the man that helped me up because he had obviously jumped out of his car and left it the middle of the road when he helped me.
They had just seen me smash into the side of a car and land in the middle of the road, but all they gave a shit about was the mans car. It makes you wonder about human beings today. ONE man out of the many people that saw it happen helped me and they beeped their horns at him.

A friend of my fathers gave me some gloves a few weeks back and said: "This is for when you do come off, and you WILL come off". Just after the crash those words rang through my head and I was very grateful to him.

After thinking over the situation MANY times in my head, thinking if I could have done anything more to prevent it and what could have easily been the end of my life, I am still drawn more to the heartless bastards that couldn't give a shit about me or the woman.

I have some advice for any riders out there: Wear high-visibility clothing and ride as defensively as you possibly can.
And some advice to drivers: LOOK FOR FUCKING RIDERS! YOU DO NOT OWN THE ROAD!

On a lighter note, I am okay haha xP

I've been in a car accident myself, get up, shake it off. Your alive that's the important thing as long as your insured its not too much of a problem. Accidents happen you just got to be more cautious as a scooter driver as its harder for other drivers to see scooters coming especially if they are closer to the pavement.
