Visual De-Provment

So sitting waiting to make a left turn and this guy was speeding around a corner in the bike lane and hit the front of my car! Poor Yaris :\ The guy said he was quote 'Healthy as a horse' at the scene when the officer asked him if he was hurt or injured so the officer didn't make a report since no one was injured. Now he changed his mind and is saying he's injured what a fucking liar, probably just trying to scam me for some money, well he's not going to win this.

He wasn't hurt at all, i was just waiting and he was speeding around the turn in the bike lane and he barley clipped the front of me.

Was the dude on a bike? What was he doing coming after you in the left turn lane? Did you get your hands on a copy of the police report - you mentioned no report was made but were notes taken?

I don't understand. If you were in your lane and he was in the bike lane how did you two make contact? Who left their lane?

No report .....no evidence . If it comes down to it subpoena the dispatch record . They ( Police ) must give them to you under the Freedom of Information Act . Then you can subpoena the officer .

Was any damage done to the other persons mode of transportation ?
Did you file a claim with your insurance ?
Did the other person file a claim with their insurance ?

I don't see a bike lane in the pics you posted ....

the way i understand it, seems like a frontal hit then, the corner being the one the driver would have been taking had he not turn left. i had a bad experience with a bicyclist one, the car ending up being hit wasnt mine tho. But man did the bike guy fly.

Exactly right, he came around the corner WAY too fast, and was over inside the bike lane and swerved when he saw my car and kissed the front of my bumper.

Why are you guys asking if it was a bike ? I never said bike, i just said he was driving in the bike lane. he was in a was Mazda miata

Because one does not expect cars to be in the bike lane. It's for bicycles.
