About 2 years ago, my Brother in Law was riding back from school (he is a math teacher). A car was coming toward him. He was potering along at 50mph on a country lane (limit 60). suddenly the car decided to turn right without signalling, cutting across his lane. There was no way to go as teh bike smashed into the car.
He spent 1 month in coma in intensive care, without knowing if he would survive. He spent 2 months in hospital, he has more metal plates in his body that you could imagine. He was out of work for a year and started part time after that for a year. Was left with horrific injuries, double vision etc... anyway really nasty stuff.
The young lad who caused the accident (and admitted fault!) was sanctioned by 3 points in his driving licence and a 100 pound fine.
There you go!
