what i know about my topic

I know that the authorities have told people in my neighborhood, that if they saw any skaters on other neighbors' property to call them immediately. That includes the sidewalks, which where I live people fly and do not care if they hit someone. I know this because just last week I was riding my skateboard and fell in the road, when I attempted to get up a car had came out of nowhere and hit me. The worst part is they didn’t even stop to see if I was OK; I am very thankful that luckily I checked out ok. Thinking back now, when getting up when I did, resulted in the car not running me completely over. This brings me to the point in my topic that skateboarders are only villains if they choose to be, because I could have thrown my board through their windshield. Instead I kept my cool, and I know for a fact that my friends would have done the same thing.
