More Bad Luck

Not a lot of damage to my car
The bike got caught under the back bumper and was dragged
I don't even know where to begin.  This must just be my lucky, or rather extremely UNLUCKY week.  I guess I would have to say my unlucky week and a half.  Last night, I was taking Ulises to meet up with his brother-in-law so he could spend the night there.  He doesn't like his new place, it's kind of far away.  Anyway, as I was turning onto another road, I needed to get into the far left lane.  I saw no traffic on the road.  There were no headlights of traffic, either.  I was about halfway across the road, when after about 30 seconds I hear a crash.  I am startled and stop my car.  While I was driving, a motorcyclist hit me from behind!  He must not have had his headlight on, or something, because I didn't see him at all, even though I looked over my shoulder.  I also have no idea why he didn't change lanes as there was literally no one else on the road.
It was quite a nerve-wracking experience.  I still feel anxious when I think about what happened.  I called the Consulate and my insurance company.  The police really wanted to take me to jail, as in Mexico you are guilty until proven innocent and an accident is a felony offense.  The only thing that saved me was my insurance company coming down, and all of the office of RSO.  It was not a fun experience at all.  In the end, though, they didn't even give me a ticket.  Which means they must have determined that the accident wasn't my fault.
Which caused this to pop out a little.  This had already
popped out from a previous incident with my haywire GPS
