I got clipped by a driver not giving way at a side road last month. I hit the road at about 15mph and rolled a few times. The elderly driver stopped, came across and started on the SMIDSY defence. I think I shouted: "UNBELIEVABLE! How could you not see me?" very much in the style of Victor Meldrew!! I then realised my neck hurt so I laid there while various people came out of houses and the emergency services were called.
I never spoke to the driver again. I understand he has now been charged with driving without due care and attention. I am much better now but it has taken over three weeks and three hospital visits and I still don't have the full strength in my right arm. CTC and the lawyers are sorting out the rest. Wish it never happened but satisfied with the progress so far.
