Pedal Bike Insurance

My friend was cycling on a main street in Regina, Saskatchewan, in the middle of the street, going against the traffic on the line in the middle of the road.

Cars were lined up at a red light, he cut between 2 cars stopped. A vehicle came into the parking lane and my friend came out of the two cars.

The driver was approx. 30-40 km / hour, so it was not just a bump.

My friend has a damaged knee, a broken foot as possible on the leg opposite the knee that was injured, as well as multiple bruises and shoulder sprain.

the driver's car was damaged, a value of approximately $ 3,500.00.

According to the traffic laws of Saskatchewan, no information on whether or not he should have paid it would be great.

Some examples or information in general.

Thank you.

It is extremely foolish and dangerous to cut the sides at the middle of the traffic that you 'think' is arrested in a fire. I once bounced a child when he came rushing out of the traffic in the left turn lane. Fortunately I was not going too fast, and he raised his left leg, so I just bounced his bike on the side a little and he was still standing. When his friend saw that he went back on the right side of the street, they started to leave and waited for traffic to clear when the light turns green.

I do not know precisely what the laws are in Saskatchewan, but based on common sense, your friend is at fault and responsible.

It is ridiculous to travel in the opposite direction of traffic, since a collision with a car going twice as fast as you could be 3 times worse than the same vehicle traveling at the same speed in the same direction.
