The stupid driver said some shit about not seeing me. I was screaming myhead off at him, asking him how he couldn't see me. I had a high vis jacket on!
Anyway I told him I was calling the police and tried to take a photo of his car. At that point he got back in the car and tried to drive off. A member of the public or so I thought, used his car to block his path. The offending driver then tried to reverse and do a u-turn but the car tried again to block his path and then suddenly, I hear a police siren. The member of the public turned out to be a police man! who had witnessed the entire thing. He was furious with the driver for trying to drive off and kept asking me if I was okay.
He detained the driver and called the police team responsible for haringey to come and make the arrest and check the drivers details.
God was looking out for me that day. I was so grateful to the police man.
It occurred to me that this driver would be the type who would hit and run without a second thought.
Anyway, I had no injuries but my bike was mashed. The police officer who helped me texted me the drivers details and said to make sure that I claim on the drivers insurance and to tell him if the driver doesn't pay to repair my bike.
How lucky am I?
I've had accidents before and its never stopped me cycling, so once I get new bike, I'm back on the bike.
Today, I had a meeting with the CEO of my company. He is a hard task master and so because the last time I saw him , I was given a 5 hour grilling.
In prep, I went for a jog this morning to clear my head. I was really pleased as I managed 35 minutes without stopping. I also watched this video on YT. The comments from the guy and the woman's reaction pierced my heart and made me get up and go jogging. I can't name the number of times i've looked at myself and felt those feelings of self loathing.
I'm really tired though, hopefully, I'll adjust.
