Dave had a bad smash today on our back road B729 by an idiot 18 yr old on a bike riding at over 80mph on the wrong side of the road and hit dave full on in the front of the car. Dave is quite badly bruised and dislocated his big toe as the bike hit the car dead centre, pushed the engine and daves pedals forward onto his feet & the bike bounced back throwing the lad over the car for 30ft. Nothing dave could do, he tried to put the car into the grass verge to avoid him but he just rode straight into the car head on! He's ok, on crutches, but is sore&really badly bruised. His toe was pushed back into place this afternoon. I got there before him as someone from work took me up the hospital! As the ambulances rolled in, I could feel my blood boiling over as the young lad was stretchered off flat out, good job, I was going to let him have a piece of my mind otherwise. As you can see by the pics I took on the way home, all on the left! Why on earth the kid didn't try to even move his bike to his side of the road is beyond me.
The kid was knocked out for a bit, and a passer by opened his flip front lid when he asked them to after he came round and she took his loose teeth out of hids tongue where they were bedded!!!
. He was out flat when he was admitted, just as well, I felt like killing myself for being a lunatic! He could have killed dave and god knows what would have happened if Dave had of had a learner in at the time! Dave broke hard, tried to bank the verge and took cover in the passenger side as windscreen caved in. Glad I wasn't there. Annan store were great as I was doing Union work there & they took me to the hospital..
How do you come down that side of the road on the wrong side and NOT get back in when you see a car along the road and you are headed right for it. He must have panicked and locked his arms up as he was breaking he bike down in speed as he has a lot of broken bones and was in resuss getting plastered up from head to toe. Daves scratches on his arms are off the air bag! poor dave. Nasty one on his shoulder off the seat belt too..
As you can see, the left hand side of the road, is where Dave was in his car, he tried hard to bank it onto the grass but the lad must have panicked and froze but was doing at min of 80+ at the time of impact. He was thrown clear over the top fo the car. Dave had to crawl out of the car as couldn't walk as had dislocated his toe and chipped a bone in his foot. The kid has broken limbs and that's as much as we know, but he does live in our village so we'llfind out soon enough. Bike and car written off. Two bike cops were in attendance and Dave calmly told them he crawled down the road, sorted the kid out and crawled back to the car and that's how he thought he'd broken his toe! At least he was using his humour to get him through....
As you can see, the grass is marked off Daves car where he tried to put it out of harms way!
Few deep breaths Dave and you won't this is at all!!!!

Poor Daves foot..This is before they sorted out the dislocation...

Nice bruise off the belt!
Just have to go see the car tomorrow now and Dave said is a total mess as the engine was pushed forward on impact, that pushed the pedals forward and did his toe in just thank god he wasn't out on a lesson as it would have put anyone off anymore lessons!! I'm pleased Dave is ok, I'm pleased it's not worse for him but he must be in paincos he asked for a Jack n Coke so I gave him the last of my Jim Bean before opening the JD and for a guy who never takes a pill and never gets a headache, he took 2 of my Cocodamol 500's off the doc so he must be feeling it.
His shoulder is sore but I told him he'll be worse tomorrow so I rang the docs from the hosp and asked them to see him tomorrow when I'm at work, as we only live literally 50 yards from our surgery and he now has sticks so will be ok to hobble up there. Will get on to Ins co's tomorrow and get a curtesy car sorted out etc. What a total shite day and massive inconvienance for us both and painful day for Dave, all because some kid decided to be a total rock!
I overheard the kids dad asking to see his son and so gave him a piece of my mind but found out he lives in our village, which I figured as not a lot of ppl use that road unless local. It is a great road for the bike,runs for miles on end we ride it all the time, but we NEVER take the racing line when cars are coming and NEVER stay out in the wrong lane either...I hope that young lad learnt his lesson and bit of luck he won't pick those keys up in a very long time!
