Incident type: Motor vehicle

Saw first vehicle passing me closely, then saw the white SUV being way too close, just opened my hand to request more space and the vehicle hit the back of my hand with their mirror. Called Peel Police to report the hit and run at 3:02 pm on May 15, 2021.

Truck ran up behind me, then passed and intentionally swerved into me, hitting me with the rear fender. Reported the incident to law enforcement but it was ignored even though the person was found from the license plate ID.

driver failed to give way, got the obligatory “I didn’t see you” palaver. This despite me riding with a 450 lumen front light and reflectorised gear

I got bumped by a car when they passed us without giving us room. It was just hard enough to make me go down.

Going straight on through an intersection on a green light, the car turning right from opposite, either didn’t see me or misjudged her own speed and tagged my rear end, taking me down
Smacked me right in the Di2! Damage extents to be assessed.

The driver stopped, was apologetic, and was also a nurse, so silver linings and all that.

Driver failed to negotiate roundabout, driving straight on and through the fence without having touched the brakes. Fortunately some dense lantana acted like a catch net and caught the vehicle before it was poleaxed by a tree a little deeper on the property it crashed through. The driver was elderly and confused. He and his passengers suffered only minor injuries. The driver was not charged but had his license revoked on the grounds that he is no longer fit to drive due to dementia.

Driver pulled out of junction without even checking for oncoming traffic

Car sped away after the impact.
No damage to the car fender that absorbed the impact
