This afternoon a driver opened his car door just when I was driving by on my bicycle... Of course he didn't speak Dutch (I'm from Belgium and thats our native language) he had no insurance papers, a licenceplate from poland (who don't give out information about it to other countries) and a passport from Portugal. According to the police he is even illegal in our country so good luck to me on getting medical bills paid back...

I think I need some get well wishes from random peeps to forget about my knee hurting so much (Going to see the doctor in the morning....

I believe he is originaly from northern Africa since he was a bit dark skinned to be a native portugese.

That doesn't mean anything, my parents are african and they are white, my skin is a tad darker than theirs and i was born in portugal.

People can be born outside of africa and still be "dark skinned", black as most people call it.

PS: Also, i feel sorry you ran into an asshole in a day of work, tough luck you got there...

Get well soon =)

I admit, I know nothing about the Belgium health system, so here's my ignorant question: doesn't your health insurance pay for your med bills? Or is a health insurance not a requirement in your country?

well the biggest carp* is that even a personal health insurance wont cover damage to my bike and clothes. And the standard belgian HI has limitations on pay-backs all around...

What's Belgium famous for?

Chocolates and child abuse, and they only invented the chocolates to get to the kids.

It was a joke to make him feel better. A joke would make me feel better rather than a bunch of "omg i'm sorry, get well soon" Hallmark card spam.

You shouldn't and you're damn right about that, but there was definitely a problem in that post...
Especially, when Irvineanca needed "some get well wishes from random peeps".

Just because he wants someone to wish them to get well, doesn't mean they should do it.

Ouch! Well, on the bright side, hitting a car door at bike speed is better than getting hit by a car at car speed!

Part of my commute is by bike so I have plenty of sympathy for you. It could have been a lot worse (you could be dead). A cyclist was killed here yesterday by a truck.

I was really mad at you for the incident that happened a while back but still, I'm really sorry to hear what happened to you. I hope it is not something serious and you get well soon.

Well, think of it this way. Be happy you're not an American citizen in the U.S.A. having been hit by a Mexican illegal-immigrnat who would now be suing you for damage to his unregistered car.

But they would get the counter sue for pain and suffering for 10x that.
The real problem though is the millions in medical bills.
