Hope it heals quickly, I didn't want to be a doom monger and post earlier, but I did think it may be broken. A lot of swelling, particular with hand/feet injuries, often indicates a fracture (having had a few myself over the years!)I had to submit a written request to get mine.
Bloody hell! Last time I had an x-ray the radiographer handed me a copy of mine, I didn't even ask for them!0 -
Indeed sorry to hear that DD - looks like a standard break and no need for surgery?
Hopefully if it’s a chauffeur’s break it’ll be straightforward. That was one of the two breaks I had back in October 2020 and it was absolutely fine.0 -
I'm not overly concerned about it, it's just a pain in the arse.
After being ill for 2 weeks with ?COVID, then an unrelated minor-op, March was a write off anyway so I was hoping to get out and about before my next big thing starts in a few weeks.
Luckily that means I have no fitness left to lose I s'poseWe're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Not sure he'd pass the physiology exam though. I'm I don't think that arm bones look like that.0 -

Hope you heal quickly. Glad you got checked out. In my experience A&E have never thought me a time-waster in the least for going in after bike spills.0 -
Interesting views on fault. I'd normally say the driver is at fault for not checking over the shoulder however I always try to ride out of the door zone and have to keep reminding my wife the same. She hugs the pavement and the car line for fear for annoying drivers!!
However I know of an instance involving two young car drivers where the insurance companies allocated blamed differently. In this case one car pulled up in a car park and his mate immediately started to pull alongside but very closely (they were going to chat through the windows). As the 2nd car pulled alongside the first car driver opened the door and the 2nd car drove straight into it crushing the door and the front wing. Both insurance companies agreed the 2nd driver was at fault by not being able to stop in time.0 -
Not the same as opening a or into traffic. That's always the drivers fault. No ambiguity.0

Sounds like the first guy knew his pal was already pulling alongside so why did he open the door? On the other hand, the other guy must have been going relatively fast not to have the time to notice the door is opening and slam the brakes. Sounds like neither of them was using his brain at the time.navrig2 said:Both insurance companies agreed the 2nd driver was at fault by not being able to stop in time.

Agreed. It was in a car park. Nevertheless that's how the insurance was settled.katani said:
