When I was about 50' in front of her ( I had slowed to 20 mph from the 35 I was doing ) , she turned directly infront of me. I locked up the brakes but she hit the front of my car, rolled up the hood and back off the front.

A neighbor heard the crash and called the ambulance. She had a broken jaw , broken arm and some cuts. Her parents came down from NYC to the local hospital she was at and were so thankful I stayed with her and made sure she got the care she needed.

Those kind parents waited until I turned 18 and then sued me for $150,000 ( a hell of a lot money in 1978 )

I lost the suit because I did NOT have full control of my motor vehicle.

It won't matter if the cyclist in the original story was doing 15 under the speed limit, he's screwed.

What's even better is the parents probably tell her every day that she did no wrong and your a spawn of satan and should burn in hell.
