don't check your speed when going through speed cameras.
Looked down for a second looked up and there was a stopping car in front of me couldn't see brake lights cause of low sun behind me. Broke pelvis and fractured spine. Would have broke my neck probably if I hadn't just bought that beemer helmet that actually fitted. Out of hosp now though wahey.

Speed cameras are well known to cause this kind of accident. There is one placed right in front of a pedestrian crossing, so you look at your speedo rather than teh pedestrians! Sounds like you have some nasty injuries, hope you are ok soon. When did it happen then?

Ouch not the nicest of injuries to have......along way down the line you could have more problems.....my friend fractured his spin coming off a bike and the bone scaring contracted around the nerves in his spine causing pain 99% of the time for 6 years until he finally had surgery on it.

Suicide sun is a nightmare
