So today I received a very unpleasant left hook which resulted in me crashing into the rear quarter of the car in question.
It occurred at the junction of Graham Road and Navarino Road this morning.
I sustained what at the time I believed to be minimal injuries to myself or the bike but have later developed some fairly bad lower back pain.
Basically he came alongside/just past me and then immediately across the front of me to make his left turn onto Navarino Road.
I am yet to see a doctor as it wasn't until I was home this evening that the pain became worse.
The driver was apologetic and admitted it to be his fault after initially saying "but I was indicating" which then went onto "I didn't see you".
I have a phone number for him along with his number plate and the phone number of a van driver that was headed the other way along Graham Road but also turning onto Navarino Road.
First thing to do is to see a doctor and get checked up, what should I be doing after this?
All advice welcomed,
Thanks.
