FYI, this is the ASL in question. Vicks was presumably in a similar position to the cyclist shown.

Thanks jefmcg. I think i was probably a bit more primary, or strong secondary, as i know that road and you don't want to be too far left. I came off the other side of the junction in front of the shops on the left. It is an appalling road layout, the police said the same. Essentially, the main road a24 goes from two lanes into one, with the right lane turning off. To make matters even worse, there is another right turn beyond, but every one has to be in the left lane, to then carry straight on or go right by the tube. It's an utter free for all. I have driven it many times, even if in left lane, the carving up is merciless

his son a very serious cyclist

Yeah right!

Glad you're relatively OK.

Get yourself some hirudoid cream - it's fabulous for breaking down haematomas (bruises) and works really well - recommended.

Hope you get it all sorted.

Thanks fossy. At the moment there is no way I can touch the leg, it hurts that much. I am going to start arnica

 

[vickster]

Yeah right!

Glad you're relatively OK.

He races here and overseas, works in a pukka LBS. Makes him a serious cyclist in my book.

It was an accident, no one meant for it to happen. It wasn't road rage, a punishment pass. It is an awful bit of road. He made a mistake, I quite possibly made a mistake. I'll mend eventually

I have a supply of Codeine and other powerful stuff. Take a couple of them, then put the cream on !
