    police report out

    the lady who hit me gets charged: "CARELESS DRIVING CAUSING INJURY"

    woohoo

    yeah.

    i was riding down my street, a lady did a right turn from a side street and drove directly into my path, we hit head on.

    I apparently landed a few meters behind the car.

    A witness travelling towards me says she saw the driver look to her left, see the witness's car, then gas it to get infront of the witness car, collecting me in the process.

    I'll never know if I managed to brake or swerve. I feel I ride defensively enough to avoid most accidents like this. As I have no memory of that day I'll not know why I couldn't avoid it.

    Sounds like a similar situation to me mate. Riding defensively, expecting a moron to do something like that and doing everything you can to be in a position where you can swerve or brake if required.

    As I found out (I can remember the accident as it wasn't as bad as yours) you can be doing everything right and still get taken out. I had just enough time to start pushing on the bar to countersteer before I hit and I was only dong 20-25km/h.

    Heal up fast eh!

    Jinkies! Well at least you know you weren't to blame for the incident! Still, it doesn't help you nor your bike

    Hope the healings coming along, still have to drop off that Kiwi Rider magazine for this month off to you!

    Thanks to Quasi leathers and kevlar jeans I've still got all my skin!

    Helmet took a pretty hard hit, so thats out, as are the jeans, jacket, shirt and bag i was wearing. Sacrificed to the ambulance gods.

    I think we should get you some really good quality porn movies and let you watch them alone.....with all them breakages you wouldn't be able to sort yourself out so to speak....that'd be really funny.

    As I said in the other thread. Heal soon, heal well and hope to see you again on your bike...or another one paid for by the driver of the car.

    Hey Matt, Hows the recovery? Yes that was cool of you leaving the choc and strawberries for me...although I must say it took me a while to 'suck' my way through the strawberries cause i had a broken jaw in three places...lol! but its the thought that counts! I'm still being lazy at home lying around doing nothing...could get used to this life :-)

    Edit: Both forearms broken. Hmm. Top tip: the Den sells these...
