Think you are right. My mate lives in the area and she says she sees it all the time, cameras needed. And yes, you are right about the horse, but she's part of the family

The police crash investigator has been fantastic. . He is coming around later this month to take a victim impact statement. I will find out more then. i intend to go to court to sit in as apparently you are allowed to do so ( as long as you sit quietly)

He has owned up to it. The evidence was against him. witnesses told police what they saw too

That's what I'm hoping. On a bad day when I'm tired with the pressures of overseeing the family business and looking out for my hubby, I feel really angry about it all and hope he get's a jail term. On a good day I think just be the best driver you can be when you do eventually get back behind the wheel and that will be enough for me. Like another person has said he will be very much up against it in life whatever. I just try and keep my peace with it all really.

Thanks Ian. Had to laugh at the horse comment. My daughter has one of those too!

This is basically what police say happened. Driver was supposed to go left at this junction and filter into the lanes of carriageway. He cut through gap which is for right turn only on for cars on other side of carriageway ! I can only hope the judge takes a very dim view. All to save himself 1 minute . Madness

Thanks so much. We do. I was advised to go with White Dalton personal injury lawyers by many in this group.

Thanks Ian

No idea , police just sent it off to CPS . Victim impact statement being taken from my husband end of this month. I would like to attend the court if I can. My husband cannot work full time yet and it’s had a significant impact on us as a family. I want the young man involved to know exactly the long term results of his stupid actions. One day my husband would like another bike if he could. I hate the idea of it, but I’d never stop him. Life is for living

Hi all. last September a 19 year old lad took my husband and my 17 year old daughter off my husbands motorcycle. The police have investigated and have put a case to the CPS of serious injury by dangerous driving against the driver as he tried to pull an illegal manoeuvre by cutting through a gap in the dual carriageway where he was not permitted to go. St one point he would have been going down the wrong way of the dual carriageway! Total idiot. My daughter got off lightly which was a miracle, my husband not so. 4 pelvic fractures, a shattered right wrist, small brain cortusion and ongoing physio required. The driver is fortunate he didn’t kill him as only 5 years ago my husband suffered an aortic dissection and has an aortic graft essentially holding his aorta together. Driver has admitted he tried to do this ridiculous manoeuvre. What kind of sentence do you think he will get? Has anyone else been the victim of a driver who went in to face such a charge? Thanks in advance .

Thanks guys. Massive help, thanks

Hello. I’m new here. Sadly my hubby was seriously injured after a young lad pulled out on him and my daughter (pillion) on Monday night. My daughter is miraculously ok, but hubby has pelvic fractures. A plate in his arm and is now home after awful hospital ‘care’. he will be off work a while and my question is , what can I claim for him? Am I best to use the insurer solicitor or find an independent one for him. Thanks
