Sorry to see you got knocked off, obviously, but I'm reminded of the last video that you uploaded where you nearly did the same thing to a van....

Did you ever end up on your arse?? You appear to be standing pretty much the entire way!

Glad you're not too seriously hurt though dude. Hopefully insurance will be painless!

Did you even watch the video I posted? It was nothing similar to me lane splitting, she literally smashed into me! No co-incidence what so ever.

Cheers everyone for your kind words!
No biking confidence knocked, looking forward to getting it sorted and getting back out on the road for the bike meet hopefully ;)

Sheesh! That's pretty impressive blindness, though maybe less surprising than it should be.

As mentioned, did bottom touch ground or was it more of a hop skip and jump to 'safety'?

It was also nice to see some people (hopefully) helping.

I did hit the ground with a fair whack but I jumped straight up again (more to get out of the way of any danger).

They were a great help and a couple picked my bike up out of the path and others left their details as witnesses.

clearly an utter **** that believes they have right of way based on the size of the vehicle they are driving compared to your bike.
Clearly assume you would stop for some bizarre reason and allow the uturn without giving you any warning.

but atleast you got it on camera and you arent a bloody mess on the pavement

I actually shifted out of my seat when watching in reaction to her turn! Glad you're ok.

Best cut out the first few seconds of that video unless you're in a 40 mph limit though. Nothing wrong with the speed at the point of the accident.

1:08 makes me laugh when you ask her what she was thinking and she says "I Just took" stops and finally gets through to 999 was blatently going to end "my eyes off the road for a second" or something along those lines, Good job you were wearing your gear!

I got to all of about 35mph for a second until i slowed down to 30 again straight after so i think it'll be ok.
My solicitor has seen the video and says its alright lol.
