[Closed] Bike V police van

I got wiped out last night by a young police officer in his van. After my normal wed night ride and a couple of beers with mates, I decided to come a slightly different way. Came to road junction and police van passed, followed behind him for about 250m then he pulls over to left as if parking up. As I went to pass he suddenly did a 90 degree turn across the road. What a bang as I him the van just behind rear wheel, ended up on floor in milliseconds thinking wtf happend there. First comment from police officer was I did not see you. No lights on bike but decent helmet light and blinking rear. Sargent turns up and breathalysers officer but not me :D Two hours in casualty, no broken bones but shoulder hurts like hell, cancelled all work for today and next week + off for weekend in Dublin tomorrow. I suppose its my fault for taking a different route home.

Yes, I would chalk this one up to "phew the cop didn't do me for riding my bike pissed and in stealth mode" and slink off home if I were you.

But at least you are honest, and sounds like the cop was too so give the guy a break.
