So this happened recently. I was pulling out of a parking lot onto a busy one way street and next thing I know a biker coming from the wrong direction of traffic with no lights on (a rule for night riding in my town) is in-front of my car as soon as i go. Now mind you that it barely bumped his bike and the extent of the damage was him tipping over. We pulled over i gave him my phone number and said if he took it to a bike shop and found any damage that I would gladly pay for it. He mentions that is fine with him and he says he has to go to his halfway house because he is past curfew from his second job. I genuinely felt bad about all of this even if he is technically at fault, I mean all i had to do was look right just in case... but I get home and he calls again and says, “we can call it even if you bring me $100 to the halfway house for the bike”. I replied that no I wasn’t going to to that. What if the bike cost $30 to fix? What if it cost $300 to fix? Mostly, I saw you ride off on it so I’m not sure what these damages are he is speaking of. He says it’s either the $100 or he’ll make a police report. I told him i’m sorry but I guess we’ll have to go that route. I told him again a final time if he brings me a bill for his bike or brings me to the bike shop I will pay for the bike, but i’m not going to allow you to black mail me with the police. I’m usually not one to feel guilt but this one kind of bothers me. He was in a half way house so i assume his life hasn’t been to easy in the last year, and it’s christmas time so i don’t want to make this a financial burden for him.
