      Not your parent comenter.

      I’ve been hit by cars twice and hit a car once and every time I’ve had the right of way. Tho I was on a bike, it just happens if you spend enough time in traffic I think.

      I didn’t really get injured on either of these, 2 bikes got destroyed tho.

      I have tbf gone down pretty hard trying to overtake other cyclists which is also traffic but there it was certainly my own fault.

            I’ve never seen ‘twice’ used like that, do you have a link to back that up? If I search “twice more” on the web, I get zero results.

              It’s how I learnt to use the words. “Twice as much” or “twice as many” = 2x, “twice more than” is +2. It’s less than perfectly standard, but it’s unambiguous in English as I was taught
