Thank you everyone.

Diesel John : Ours go red at the same time as the stop signs swing out. Our school bus drivers have some sort of job security that I as of yet don't understand. When I rode a school bus the driver was terrible, ran stop signs, got in 2 at fault wrecks while I was on the bus, etc etc. Well about 2 years ago it came out in the papers that he had had 3 DWI's (OWI) while driving a school bus, it took a vote of the school board to fire him.

Metro MPG: I am very aware of a bicycle not having road presence and that most people are not expecting me to be traveling at a high rate of speed; I'm reminded of it by some bonehead motorist virtually every time I ride. This is in fact my second accident as a result of vehicles not expecting me to be traveling so fast. The last one I was speeding through a school zone (4~5 over) a SUV passed me, saw a cop, noticed her speed and nailed the brakes, I rear ended her pretty hard.
However the advantage of the E-bike is that it can get away with riding in places that only bikes can ride (especially through crowds), and is exempt from registration/ insurance cost. It is all a trade off. I do have flashing lights front and rear, sometimes I wonder if that makes me look slower to motorist . . . .

I wish I could get my front disc brake back, the hub motor is to wide to clear it. I do wish that I had air in my front tire, would have hit at a slower speed, but no doubt I would have hit regardless of tire pressure.

Anybody think I should sue them?
I was thinking about asking for a few hundred dollars to cover time/ hurting/ Diesel I wouldn't have otherwise use (yes I do still hurt).
Any opinions?
