ARGH! So, on my way to work this morning some stupid wanker decided that pulling out in front of me would be a good idea. Needless to say I didn't come off better, the bike is stuffed and I am hurting. But the thing that really made it was the fact that he drove off... fuck! He left some bits of his car behind in his rush to get away, though, so the police can easily see if they belong to a certain car. At least about 4 people managed to take down his number plate, and two of them got a good look at his face. The police say the car is registered, not stolen, and has insurance on it, great. But now I am not so sure the accident is really all that bad, especially when compared to dealing with my insurance company. So far I have been bounced around my broker, Motorcycle direct, who can't give me any straight answers, my under writer (AXA) who say I need to talk to my legal protection people (DAS) who say they can't do anything until they find out if the car has insurance, oh and throw in the MVRA somewhere in there... So I am stuck with one fucked up bike, no way to get to work tomorrow, a neck and back that hurt like hell, and what looks like a long, drawn out process to get anything out of the other driver's insurance company for an accident that was not my fault. So how was your day?
