yep, I was stopped for a red light on my bladit when I got taken out from behind. Woke up in the middle of the road thinking what did I do wrong. A copper shouting don't try to move and some old git say "I am so sorry"

Wrote the bladit off, his car, fortunately the copper was in the adjacent lane alongside me and saw me flying through the air, Moved his car to defend my position. He estimated the old git to be doing about 60 and was going to go through the light I had stopped for.



BTW my lad has just been award £1,900 for the damages to his back when some dozy girl ran into the back of his van in Wallasey

I hope your whiplash, back pains and post traumatic stress disorders are coming along nicely.
