PerryGunn said:Ouch! Bet you were a bit shaken up after that?
Main thing is that you're OK - hope there's not too much trouble with the insurance Co. getting everything sorted

Strange. I hope no alcohol was involved?

Hope you manage to sort things out. Alpina time maybe?

Not always true - I rolled a car which burst all 4 tyres, broke the suspension and slammed the engine through the bonnet, before the car slammed into a side bank, breaking headlights and front bumper/radiator etc. Total write off and no airbags deployed.

Seeing as Tim got a complete reaming in the wading depth thread for antagonising you, I think it's only fair to ask that you don't push this thread in the same direction Carol.

This is a really good point. I used to ride a lot of motorbikes and had a few non-serious crashes or near misses due to my own stupid fault or somebody else's. Resets your approach each time and makes you think. Better to have lots of smaller close calls than one, big nasty one.pvr said:Nasty accident, at least you can talk about it afterwards. It may be a harsh lesson now but it might help you in the long term from a safety point of view (defensive driving etc).
