just got back from the hospital, had my first crash today...only problem is i was on a bike!

i even saw him coming but a way off, indicated, counted to three, moved over... and he had put his foot down!

cue me bumping down the side of his car and then barrel rolling along the road.

Nothing broken but my right side is a mess, bandaged up with some magic cream and the tendons in my right wrist and leg have taken some damage. Apparently i need to go back soon for them to assess the extent of the soft tissue problems.

the fella did stop but was determined to enforce his version of events. loads of others helped out too, so thanks to them.

I then rode on to the train station and caught the train before realising the extent of the damage and getting in touch with mum to take me to the hospital.

took me ages to write this 1 handed .. just wanted to share

Glad your ok(ish)

sorry to here that,

glad you have not broken anythink.

stuart

Yay! Congratulations..oh. We're not celebrating are we? Sorry........

Get well soon!

Push bike or motorbike?

Guess your sex life just took a knock for a few weeks eh?

Speed and 4 wheels is great for me. Speed and no wheels even better, but....

Speed on two wheels I know I'd kill myself so me and bikes stay clear of each other.

Glad your OK

Glad to hear you are OK, bit of a steep learning curve, but many a minor first accident has had more damaging results. Hope you recover 100%.

hope you got his insurance details? It'll make him look twice next time if he loses his NCB!

Hope you get better soon anyway.

Did you get her number? Had lots of nice nurses after getting knocked off a Police Motorcycle.

Sorry to hear that Craig - hope no lasting damage incurred!

As above, make sure you lodge it with his insurer if only to ensure the statistic is counted.

I've had a few knocks from cars - only minor, but it does shake you.

no details, i told him to f off as he was getting in my face and i wasnt in any state to fend him off.

i didnt, but she works at the shop, so might hang out there while im off work... or is that creepy ha

oooh, bad luck but the fact you are posting on here shows it is not so bad.

get well soon etc.

glad to hear your ok mate, get well soon!

his sex life will be fine, he said one hand still works

Get well soon.

Steve.

Any ruling should go in your favour anyway as it's automatically deemed the car driver's fault nowadays. Get a good solicitor and you may never have to work again

Hope you feel better soon mate.

On the legal side, Go to your nearest police station and report it 'IMMEDIATELY'. It was an accident on a public highway and as a law abiding citizen it is your duty to report an accident with in 24 hrs. Failure to do so can result in prosecution. However if you were attending a hospital for treatment to injuries sustained then you should get away with it, however, I bet slime bag hasn't reported it. As there is injury involved, this makes it even more of a sin on the part of the motorist as he MUST offer you his details by law. So should plod actually do some legwork and find the chappie he should be in VERY warm water.

HTH
(although from personal experiance plod could not trace a 2 year old metalic blue masserati, even with a clear picture of the car)

Glad your ok. He must have seen you as he sped up. He must also have seen you pulling out and therefor must have been able to avoid you.
