What do you do if you get hit by a car?

[Chongqing]

I almost got hit by a car crossing the street today, and this question struck me. What should I have done if I did get hit?

Let's say I was mostly ok, but pretty bruised up. I imagine I'd have to get the driver's license and insurance information. Do you just take a photo with your phone and walk away? What's the actual protocol?

The more I thought about it, the more I thought I'd need to call an older relative to ask what to do.

What do you all think?

If car hit you, then you hit car. Eye for eye.

I'd move my hand across my body and trace out a cross.

Spectacles, testicles, watch, wallet.

 

[Semiprofessional Sperg]

Quickly jump in front of another car in order to appease fate

Then you say "Haha no worries I'm fine" and walk it off you unbelievable litigious faggot.

If it is a cute girl driving, I like to pretend I have amnesia and make her take care of me for a couple of weeks.

Two of my family members where in a big crash a year back, one was crushed between his car and the car that hit them. The other had a heart attack after they got to the hospital. In cases like that the most important thing is getting good care both right away and longer lasting stuff like re-learning to walk. We are still having issues with the insurance company and I can't talk to much about that without risk of doxxing but needless to say it's been an on going issue. Out look is a lot honestly I'm just glad I didn't loose anyone to that crash as when I got that call I was 50/50 on them being outright dead.

Roll with it; works for drunks.

 

[Lil' Hog]

Shit and cum.

Then you will learn insurance companies will drag their feet in paying you

but what if you're left handed?

Op don't be dumb. You hit the ground and don't move. When the police get there you make your statement and let paramedics check you out. You might not have to get in the ambulance but even if you do you remember the person that hit you is paying for it. And when the lawyer shows up (because somehow they know why you're there before you do) you tell them "yes, I would like to sue."

Unless you weren't on the cross walk, then you might've deserved it.

Couldn't agree more. Once, when crossing the street in a crosswalk, a car was talking a right-turn very eagerly. Having "done nothing" other times when nearly hit in a crosswalk, I spun around and kicked their rear quarterpanel. Superinahurrydude jumps out and says hes going to call the police, so I yell to a witness on the sidewalk to CALL THE POLICE! Superinahurrydude jumped back in his car and sped away.

but what if you're left handed?

I was run over by a van once, while on the sidwalk - and am left-handed, so I think I can answer this. I woke up in the street, so my first motivation was to get back to the sidewalk. I couldn't get up, so I crawled. By the time I had my hands on the curb a passerby had seen me and approached me to say that an ambulance had been called. My next recollection was being in a gurney going to the operating room. I didn't have much to do for a few days after that but watch TV.

Get revenge on that fucker.

I hate it whenever I have to cross a road, and a turner's gotta turn.

And they gotta turn.

Right on red should be illegal like it is in Germany.

Realise that life is fragile and precious. Celebrate your escape from the Reaper with a debauched week of sex, drugs and alcohol, experiencing all life can offer. During this, you catch AIDS and die, raising questions about the nature of destiny.

 

[Analog Devolved]

Hire a lawyer and sue their insurance company. Profit.

 

[Ilackcreativity]

you get free college

I meant with the crossing yourself. I've never done it before.

I'll keep your story in mind and tell it to other southpaws. It should be considered targeting a minority.

Call my lawyer, rub hands and then faint.

I was hit by a car side on when cycling down a busy city centre road. Dude turned right into me and I flew 10ft down a side road, millions of people around.

Got up out of sheer adrenaline and dragon punched the dude's window, surprised I didn't break my hand or the glass. Then the shock set in, and I had to be helped to the side of the road. The guy (filthy sand nigger) saw his opportunity and peeled out.

Don't know if anyone reported it, but I didn't get his plate number in the commotion.

I'd imagine first port of call would be emergency services (ambulance and police,) then secondary shit like tracking and insurance, getting evidence, etc.
