The part that stunned me was the driver telling the police "yes, he's all right". Frickin' apathetic bastards. (Decide for yourself to whom this epithet applies.)

Well I think we were both in shock, and the driver either wasn't talking to the cops at all, and it was all a con, or they failed to mention the broken windscreen part. Either way, there's a report in the system now and I can get the ball rolling, finally, on the workcover claim.

Mind you, once I explained the accident to the cops, 'I turned right because the road looked clear' ... 'and then they hit me', they warned me that if I filed the report they'd have to book me for failing to give way. I pressed ahead - but now the insurance companies will be able to lay fault. Fuck.
