I was hit a couple of years ago, actually hit and run. A carpet installer (I assume, he had a roll of carpet sticking out the back) in a beat up van, he was turning left from the oncoming lane and pulled right in front of me. I hit the rear quarter panel, and busted my helmet, handlebars and little road rash. He had expired tags and a suspended license, so he decided not to hang around. The cop who took the report was a cyclist too, so he did his best to track the guy down, but unfortunately was not successful. At least I wasn't hurt too badly, neck was sore for a day or two and damage to bike was about $300.
