Adventure Bike Rider Forum

Thanks to some buffoon in a car not seeing me and pulling out on me 15 feet away causing me to anchor on the bike slid I manged to keep it up by using my left foot and some unknown magic I was able to get upright and avoid a collision after a visit to the a&e I've broken my wrist keeping it all shiny side up to add insult to injury I use my bike too commute as it's about £40 a week cheaper than the car so I'm out of pocket bright side though the bikes all pretty as usual

Congrats on not being dead which by the sounds of it could well have been your fate. All cagers should sit the CBT, it may make them more aware of us bikers, I know it did for me!

I thought that was my fate a row of 15 parked cars on my left or a wall on the right someone obviously wanted me alive

Well done! Hope it's not your "good" wrist? :whistle:

Things could have been a lot different with this scenario.

Hope you're not too badly damaged (thumbs)

Thankfully not Steve I even went find a ride before going to the hospital pleasure over pain

I've been saying since I passed my bike test only 3 years ago that all new drivers should have to sit a CBT test.

They should also have to spend a few hours in the cab of a fully laden Articulated vehicle, just to see how much further the stopping distances are over a car and to also understand exactly what blind spots are.
