    I was recently speaking to the police officer investigating my accident and he informed me they had a crash investigation unit on the scene for a number of hours. Personally, I thought it was a very cut and dry situation.

    Hope you get well, but after that thing (which is the most important). The second most important thing is, What kind of bike are you goin to get now ????

    The cops didn't even come to my accident, because I walked away from it. I just had to pay for the damage to the other car, being a student that was only $5 month. Ended up paying for half by accepting a deal from the insurance company.

    Hey fpsware

    Sorry to hear about your accident. I'm in Rotorua not even an hour away and it wasn't even on the news here!! Hope you have a speedy recovery.

    My understanding about doing a thorough investigation is so they have answers for any questions the defense throw at them thus making it easier to prove reckless driving. Good on them for going for reckless, they could have gone for careless and all they have to do is prove something happened. Cut and dried as you say.

    Sounds like you're in a bad way man, sorry to hear this. Are you sure that you want to get straight back onto a bike again? Either way take care and get well .

    I'm glad it wasn't my fault because I let my insurance laps about four to six weeks ago.Not that it would have mattered though because the bike I was riding exceeds the class restrictions on my license.So the insurance company would not have paid out anyway.

    I won't be able to drive a car for two to three months yet and probably won't be able to ride a bike for six to twelve months depending on how my injuries heal.But in the next twelve months I would like to at least purchase another bike.

    As my girlfriend said,People die all the time doing all sorts of things. Admittedly, some things are a little more dangerous than others but why stop doing some thing you love.Life is short do what you love while the new have the time.
