So I was Spliting lanes going North on the 57 in the car pool, the carpool is about to split away over a bridge so I slow down to let any cars that need to move over do so. The bridge is coming up and the double yellows are present again so I start to split lanes again. I guess this guy needs to make the next exit or something because as I am passing him he trys to cross double yellows just before the carpool lane splits away. He hits me then quickly goes back into his lane. Luckly I didn't fall over but at that moment my left hand was hurting.He was going around 10-20mph and I was going about 30-40mph when it happened. We pull over, check out the damage. My left hand, no redness or visual damage but a little bit of pain. My 09 650R, no visible damage except for the scratched and loose left frame slider (Thank you 650 shop for the cutless framesliders:notworthy). I got his info
I was thinking about just getting a new left frame slider puck or whatever (can I buy just one from the 650 shop?) and going to the doc to check my hand (got medical insurance) and sending him the bill. Or should I go the "get the insurance companies invovled" route which I am reluctant since I don't know if I'll get penalized for anything and have my rates go up for less than a hundred buck worth of damage.
(Damn... 10k miles and about 9 of them put on while lane splitting. I was starting to think it wouldn't happen to me)
