How did the bike end up under the car? Did you lowside it on front brakes or what?

suppossidly he admitted liability to the plod (think he thought fess up dont get hit with a dangerous driving charge) and plod said to me it seemed pretty cut and dry, me on main road him pulling out of juction, but things always change by the time insurance gets involved so i aint holding my breath

Oh bloody hell What a $hit thing to happen... could have been so much worse. And you got to go to work 'n' all - not fair

If I were you I'd write everything down asap so you don't forget anything by the time you have to give a statement to the insurance.
