Yes, it usually happens, my maternal grandmother died run over. The driver fled the scene.
The driver who ran over me did not flee, but later he was imprisoned, due to imprudence, I was going very well on my right, here the traffic of vehicles is on the right, nobody can explain why I was run over, the driver from the car I had plenty of room on the street.
I got to have four pairs of inline skates, currently I only have one, I use it to go skating with my daughters who also skate but for recreation. By the way, after that accident I couldn't participate in any competition
I returned to my origin, martial arts,
Maybe that driver was looking at his phone, inattentive driving is very prevalent here. I'm on the way to the police station right now to report a driver who lost control and mounted the kerb right in front of my house last night actually. Completely took out a pedestrian railing, lucky no one was standing there waiting to cross. Ended up only a few inches from my front fence right up on the verge. She's very lucky she missed the power pole and the tree out the front of my house.
I went out there and, sure enough, the person couldn't speak a word of English. Typical. She was a learner driver and the person beside her isn't fully licensed. He'll lose his temporary permit because of my report.
Anyway, I think it's best that you have switched to martial arts and I think I'd have done the same. Near-death experiences have that effect usually.
wow, as you say, good thing there were no pedestrians to cause the street.
I assume people should pay for the damages.
May all go well at the police station. And not happen like your friend and the insurance bureaucracy.
I read all about the loss of your friend's mother, it is very unfortunate.
All went well, they took the report and the process will ensue.
I hope you've got a great weekend planned, anything special?
Unfortunately, I don't have anything planned in the way of enjoying time with the family, even though we are on vacation at the university and the girls are on school vacations, I have jobs to attend to. One is with a neighbor who offered me a temporary job for the weekend.
The other job is that the government sent to make changes to the payroll, they are forcing us by official memorandum to suspend some concepts that are included in our payments, some had been won by union struggles, that bothers me, but unfortunately we must do it, because if not we simply do not get paid, it is unfair, but they have already done it on other occasions to leave us without collecting our salary, when that happens, they say it is the fault of the payroll managers who did not do the job, that's socialism.
Please excuse me for touching on a political topic, but it is the answer if I have something special on the weekend.
I have been awake since 5:00 a.m. working on the payroll.
It sounds like a tricky situation and typical for the government there, I think that do whatever they like no matter if it's right or wrong. Probably the same for most governments though I guess.
Hopefully you manage to get everything done and some time for yourself and family too.
