Good to here you're ok. Hope they lock the driver up.

**6ft5** · 24th May 2008, 21:34

thanks for all the support

police have said charges will be laid for careless use of a motor vehicle causing personal injury. Could be suspension of license for the car driver or a jail sentence even if there are previous circumstances.

The person should really be appointed as my personal transporter for the next 6 months, as the prime victim all i get is ACC.....

will post pics of the bike soon

Glad to here recovery is well underway.

Just put you story forward, and it is only careless, licence suspension is not mandatory. Tell them the hardship it will cause for you to lose your licence.

Good luck

thanks will tell them my story for sure. 6 months loss of contract income etc...perhaps more

Don't people use the safety chains on their trailers? I've seen quite a few fall off..

Best of luck with a speedy recovery.
