BINGO!!! It took until post #43 for someone to ask what happened to the other human being. Yeah, he was a dickhead, but when we see a 'roo, deer or a drunk in the median why does responsibility to control the outcome leave our hands? You are in control of the machine, you could have (should have?) slowed down or possibly rode around it,QUOTE]
I had no chance to ride around him, avoid him, i did take evasive action, but like a rabbit caught in headlights, he sort of instinctively moved towards my head light.... I did hit him on the left side of the bike, with the bike turned towards the right, but i had about 10 metres in which to do anything...
I have been riding for a bloody long time, and i honestly think i could not have done anymore to avoid the accident...
He should be charged just like a drunk driver, he did not have control of his functions due to being staggering drunk, and as such should not be anywhere near a road, or at best, at least use the Pedestrian lights that were 30-40 metres away...
I wouldnt want to kill, or harm anyone, and i am the innocent victim of an act of irresponsible drunken lunacy...this was on one of Adelaide's busiest roads in the heart of the City...Your an idiot if you dont use the Pedestrian crossing's, even when your sober!
He obviously was not seriously injured when he squared up to me after he got up off the road, accusing me of aiming for him, and wanting to hit me....
It took the intervention of a couple of 3rd parties to get him to piss off and leave me alone, so i could get the bike off the road without having him in my face!
I was sober, riding responsibly, and should not have to deal with such "hazards" in the middle of the road...

oh yeah, glad to hear your doing good to man!! :thumbup:
