Why did you get a driving infringement?
Are you always in the wrong car v bike?


Haven’t received it yet, will be something like driving without due care or similar because I didn’t stop at the intersection for the cyclist, instead unintentionally hit them. If there was no other traffic, then all good to continue without stopping. :oops:

Fair enough too.


Cyclists have right of way regardless of their duty of care?
Albeit, it would appear you are admitting some fault


I know what you’re getting at. I completely admitted fault, something I’d hope most people would do when you call an ambulance because you’ve just knocked someone over with your car.

As I cyclist myself, I doubt I would have been hit if I was the cyclist in the same situation as I would have been aware of the car approaching to take evasive action or to slowdown or stop.

Nothing withstanding that, I can’t escape the fact that I didn’t see her until it was too late and so am happy to cop what I have, knowing that I did everything I could to avoid the collision once I saw her, and then to make sure she got treatment, etc. At the time I had no concern for any damage to my car or what the ramifications for me would be.

Ironically, I just had a conversion with my missus on how anyone could possibly do a hit and run, and old mate Eugene McGee came up.

I've been going of an afternoon, back into the mornings when I'm at my best motivation wise.

*No pull puns allowed


I can totally relate to the motivation comment. I too have been getting up at 4:45am, logging on to work around 5am to sort the day out and do all my reports, I then head to the gym just after 6, get home around 7:30, shower, OJ and a coffee then off to work.

Because I've reached all of my fitness/step goals by 10am it inspires me to double or triple them, I'm more refreshed at work, more energy at knock off time and less likely to chug down a dozen beers on a school night. I have such a better frame of mind, after losing 16 kgs late last year I fell off the bike after one all-nighter and had struggled for motivation since, I put about 4kg back on but it's on it's way back down, still using the 2nd extra belt hole that I had to create......up the good end.
