What bothers me more is 'no more road bike...' Too many people -
particularly women - are put of cycling permanently by incidents like
this. And you cannot blame them - she was not seriously unjured, but
she easily could have been. We need MUCH stronger sanctions against
drivers who hit cyclists.

I took it to mean that her bike was ruined in the collision, not that she
was going to give up road cycling.

View on helmets:

Several studies provided solid scientific evidence that bicycle helmets
protect against head, brain, severe brain and facial injuries,
as well as death, as a result of cycling accidents

Oh well that's all right then. Presumably she was wearing a helmet and
reflective vest?

I hope your interpretation is correct.

I can only guess that she had momentarily thought of putting in an insurance
claim for personal injury but thought better of it when questioned by the
police.
