****ing Uninsured Foreign Drivers

My Storm is dead :mad2
Make sure you have fully comp is all I can say.
I was going down the exit slip on the A 13 behind a car riding off to the left, when another car (Swedish uninsured) cut cut across from lane 2 and stopped dead. The car in front did an emergency stop, drifted left, filled my escape route. At this point I jumped off just before the bike parked in the back of the car in front.
I must say my flying was pretty good. I just need to do a lot of work on the landing!
2 witnesses and the police have blamed the swede and the police nicked her!
Now for the insurance merry go round.
I would put some pictures up if i knew how.

Thanks for your replies.
I've nothing broken.
I've got a very battered left shoulder, bruised ribs and a few other aches and pains AND SOME WICKED PAIN KILLERS FROM A&E. I feel high as a kite

.
I'm just waiting for some physio from the hospital or from work if they can sort it!
I had my monies worth out of my Dianeese jacket armer and Knox back protector. My Walker rep Arai looks a bit second hand.
The police nicked her.I think it was for no insurance and driving with undue care and attention

Best of luck to you, I hope you both get what's coming to you! (nice things for you obviously, like one of her au-pair friends to come and rub unguents etc into sore bits!)

Sorry to hear that, hope you get back on the saddle ASAP.
Keep in touch with the police and keep everything EVERYTHING to do with the accident in a box file and copy stuff you send to people.
Make sure you recover ALL your losses.
Good luck..

... looks like you did right throwing yourself from the bike hun... you would probably of end up more hurt if you'd of stayed on.
I did get a compliment from the Traffic cop. He said If I hadn't layed it down and jumped clear the child in the back of the car would have been injured. Bloody glad she was OK!
