Well it’s been along time coming but today I got caught out. On the Junction of Buckhold Road and Nevill Drive Close (I think) in Wandsworth this morning a Minicab Driver pulled out on me. He was looking at me and obviousley didn’t register. I had no time to even think about breaking, tried to go around to the front but he kept moving forward and bingo…I was airbourne.
Estimated distance of flight from the Paramedic was 25-30ft, I had the whole neck brace saga and ambulance to Chelsea and Westminster (they have the prettiest nurses so I ask for there given the chioce ;))
The Police were on the scene quickly too and apart from a gorping scooter rider who came so close I thought he may run me over (think he was checking I was o.k and didn’t need anymore help) everybody did their bit admirably.
I have battered legs (not the fish and chip kind) but no breaks, my company Bandit is a write off we think. It was entirely the cab drivers fault of this there is no arguement so I am now gearing up the claim.
Geees glad your ok…i had a very near miss with a pedestrian this morning decided to run out in front of me , didnt haver time to brake so swerved round him just brushing him with my mirror!!! :w00t:
Glad to hear it’s not serious Dunk, GWS fella and if there 's anything you need give me a shout, I’ll be more than happy to visit if the nurses are as good as you say they are!!
Sorry to hear this, lucky you didn’t break anthing, could have been much worse. Hopefully the claim will go through smoothly Hope the bruises heal quickly!
Hope the bruises heal quickly!
