Ermmm from a risk point of view, statistially, people with more points are a greater risk

Crossing the road (walking) in Kingston, car comes hurtling round the bend and cuts in front of an ambulance. Find myself staring at the face of the driver before I start to run, and a split second later, the car has hit my leg and I'm up in the air, landing on my chest.
Sitting in A&E at the month, with hopefully nothing more than fractured ribs, but I was lucky that:
1 Was in my gear or I'd have broken a leg
2 Ran instead of 'rabbit in headlights' or the car would have hit me straight on and I'd have flown over it
3 It happened in front of an ambulance 5 minutes from Kingston Hospital
Oh the irony of people worrying about me on a bike... If there was ever an advert for bike gear for pedestrians, this would be it!!

I can't believe that happened to you, I hope you heal quickly!
That cage driver should be banned for that sort of driving...

Um...don't you have to let police know if you hit a pedestrian? Same goes if involved in RTC as a ped I think?
I could be wrong tho - but I hit someone a long time ago (but no injury) - I reported to police, they paid him a visit a few days later coz he hadn't reported it.
Given the credibility of your witnesses I suspect driving without due care/speeding probably due to cage driver... serves the fcuker right.

I've just called the cops (after nearly 5 hours in A&E...). Guy hasn't reported it yet, so I'm guessing they'll be paying him a visit after they visit me to get a full report tomorrow!

Cripes!!
Hope you heal quick.
On the bright side, at least there was an ambulance on the scene to sort you out!!!
Could have been a lot worse/more painful.
Hope you damaged the idiots car too!!

Thanks all. Police came round this morning. I suspect the guy might face a careless/reckless charge, as he undertook the ambulance at speed on a bend without clear view of the road ahead, but I'm sure GT/Mouse know more about that!
Now spending my recovery time trying to sort out claiming against his insurance (at the very least for a new helmet, as I was holding mine at the time!)...
