Another biker down

Well all I got knocked off me bike at 08:55 this morning by a female drunk driver.

I am just a bit brusied and the bike is a bit bent, in the garage for repairs.

I was by the way stationary at the lights on Southbridge road Croydon waiting to turn left behind an Audi, when the world exploded behind me. Feels like I have been hit in the back with a canon ball.

Ouch! Glad you’re relatively alright, fella. You get some mad people on the roads…

Mate that sounds painful! Feck glad your ok mate! I hope they lock em up I detest drink driving with a vengance! Did they take the person away?

oooohhhh nooooo! Doc!

get in the bath and drink lots of water to flush out all the toxins in your damaged muscles sweetheart

keep warm x

Really sorry to hear that… what is goin on at the moment !

PEOPLE have gone MAD

Hope you are back on the road soon x

oooooo sorry to hear that Doc, GWS hun, I hope they ban her for life - stupid bleeeep

I’ve had it with car drivers - I had a knock off on sunday but seems you sustained alot more injury than I luckily managed to walk away with. (something to be said for being a padded lady!)

sending a huge hug

Gems x

hope you are ok too fazer ???..blimey

DRUNK! at 8:55 in the morning!!!

Thats not on…hope u and the bike are ok, go get some radox and have a soak

JESUS H, how many in one week ! sorry to hear of your accident too Fazer…

hows the bike?

Did the police get hold of her?

Doc sorry to hear of your off but pleased you are well enough to write a post. Get well soon mate!

08:55! It’s bad enough she hit you mate but there are school kids and all sorts around at that time they should lock her up but I doubt they will…

Blimey mate I was in Croydon this morning (sober, via the train and defo a bloke so it wasn’t me).

Drunk at that time? Hope they throw away the key. Glad you’re ok but at least you’re a Doc eh?

Thanks all there is a lot to be said for good Givi panniers as they seem to have absorbed the impact.

Her Citreon Xsara front end disintergrated in shards of blue plastic. The police carted her off screaming.

The Coach driver behind her and the Audi driver where both diamonds and stayed until I was taken off in the ambulance. Lamba Motorcyles in Carshalton were straught in there to secure the bike for me. Thanks Neil!

Damn, Doc, that’s a rough ride. Hope you don’t have any whiplash or the like. Is the bike ridable? They’ll take her to the cleaners, or at least I hope they do. Drunk at 9am in town? Killer waiting for a victim…

Don’t be too nice and get the law suit going for complete replacement of all gear - they are incredibly lenient on drunk drivers at the moment so get a good solicitor and sue her for damages not covered by insurance…sounds horrible I know but get in fast you wouldn’t believe some of the defences I’ve seen by drunk drivers and they get away with it…

e.g marriage split up - severe depression - confirmed by Doc - she gets away with £500 fine

Harsh, Doc, harsh! Hope you’re fine and back on two wheels very soon.

Bloody hell, drunk at that time of the morning?

Hope you are feeling better soon, what complete and utter a**holes

Doc glad ure ok buddy that is the main thing…drunk at 855 am…someone has a serious problem…

Not condoning what she did by any means, notice a few comments about being drunk at that time of the morning.

I presume she was breathed at the scen eand found to be over the limit. In my opinion that is the time most people will be over the limit. How many of you have gone out, got bladdered and got up for work the next day? I know I have and am sure that if I may have been touch and go on the old breath test.

Doc sorry to hear this , hope all is well soon and your bike is OK

Thats terrible!!!

Sue the arse off her!

Even though you maybe fully comp,

Get a lawyer on the case - a no win no fee could be used but in my experience a normal lawyer is more efficient.Do not reveal the extent of your injuries to HER insurance companyBe careful about telling YOUR insurance company too much about your injuries ( all insurance companies scratch their own backs here and it is not in THEIR interest to maximise your claim).Frighten her insurers because they do not know the extent of your injuries and will be afraid you will claim £millions.Ask for a settlement out of court and add in ALL expenses, time of work, pain, bike - the lot.Don’t let the insurers bully you into making a small claim - get the lawyer to ‘muscle’ them!Take her to the cleaners!!!We all think OUR insureres work in our best interests - THEY DONT. Even though we PAY them to insurance is a big club, Why should Norwich Union take an arm an a leg off Royal Sun Alliance when next week RSA will have a claim against Norwich Union?. They use tit for tat and make sure each other pays the minimum …Grrrr

Only a paid lawyer will REALLY help you here…

( I HATE insurance companies )
