Default Bike Crash

- Addison Lee driver Pulled out in front of me with my girlfriend on the back.
Thankfully we both had all the kit on.

I took the brunt of the crash as my girlfriend was holding onto me and not the grab bar on the bike. She landed on the roof of the MPV. I bounced of the MPv and landed in the middle of the junction about 5 Metres back.

Much pain - damaged all ligaments in left knee. Bruised bones all through left left, pelvis and angle.

Am very lucky, but will be unable to use left leg for a few months - been a month already.

Keep safe guys and don't assume people have seen you even if there is no one in front of you and they are still waiting - this guy pulled out and then panicked and stopped dead in the middle of the junction - if he had kept going i would have got passed.

All this at only 25Mph ~

As you can see from the petrol tank - my Crown jewels took a beating too!!

WEll they pretty black and blue mate - it happened on the 22nd of March and they are bruised anymore - one of the fastest healing areas.

One of my mates was telling me his friend had a similar accident and he had to have surgery to pull his b***ocks back out as they got pushed inside his pelvis - so could have been worse lol!

Nasty one! Glad you are both relatively ok. Did the driver stop and admit liability? Any witnesses for later when he decides it was your fault instead?
