Not a good start - Me vs Car
Not in the mood to get too much into details at the moment, im knackered and full of pain killers.
On the way home from home this afternoon I got hit side on by a Ford Fiesta (would of been nice if it was a classy car but noooo) - He pulled out of a side road and went straight into the side of me, I was going about 10mph in traffic and I guess he just saw a 'gap' when infact it was me! Bike isnt damaged in any obvious way, got details of the person who did it but didnt get any witness details (was in abit of shock and never had to do this). As i said bike looks fine and it was only slow but we shall see. My leg is in alot of pain at the moment where it was inbetween the car bumper and the bike, good job there was nothing coming in the other lane as i went to the other curb. Annoying but nevermind, stupid crazy london traffic. I was SOOOO close to home aswell

Bleeding Heck
 Was he actually stopped at the giveway line before pulling out? That is one of the things that gets my goat with drivers ie speeding up to the giveway/stop line , and just pulling out giving themselves no chance to take a proper look. Hope all goes well and might be best to go see the GP and get all the pains noted down. Cheers Ben

REally sorry to hear this.
If I understand right you should be OK for a nice compensation claim from them? Heal soon - and see the Doc. |

B**ger, hope you feel better soon. Have you got your leg checked out, so you can sue him for a specific injury. You have whiplash right?

Really sorry to hear about this, and relieved that the outcome wasn't MUCH worse.
 Take it easy for a couple of days, and I really would get yourself checked out if you haven't already.
