Wow, never thought I'd be posting in this thread.
Just got back from hospital after being rear-ended on a dual carriageway. Thankfully I'm merely banged-up rather than broken but I'm going to be sore in the morning!
Pretty simple accident really (I think?! I'm doing my "What to do in the event of an accident." research now). I was coming up to a roundabout so checked, saw there were two cars in each lane behind me which were a safe distance away, indicated and moved into primary position on the inside lane (roughly at the 100 yrds mark I think.) Couple of seconds later the person in my lane goes straight into the back of me, I go up his bonnet and then down onto the ground again, where I get to have a nice lay in the rain.
The nice policeman is sorting out bringing my mangled wreck of a bike back home now :'( I'll have a nice chat with him.
Of course, I had to be cycling off to a volunteer thing. Oh Karma, wherefore art thou?!
