Well Yesterday morning was one of the worst for me....:( was about to pull into the driveway at work making a right hand turn at a T-Intersection,

the slip lane for oncoming traffic was backed up into the other lane and I was waved through by another car.

I checked if was any cars coming and started turning doing about 5-10km/h as I glanced again to check the car that waved me through wasnt moving, in a split second I saw a motor cycle 2m away and whack the bike hit my passenger side doors and the rider ended up flying onto the boot of my car all because he couldnt be bothered waiting for the traffic and decided it would be a good idea to duck out and cross double lines what a f*** wit.

The rider was still concious and seemed ok but obviously had a suspected spinal injury. Ambo and coppers were there in 5mins as this happened outside Robertson Barracks army base. I only had a piece of glass fly into my nose from the passenger window shattering, air bags didnt go off either.

Now my car is possibly a write off, the pillar itself between front and rear door is fine but down near the bottom door sil in the corner is dented in about 3 or 4mm small as but still I think its enough for it to be stucturely unsound but getting assesed tomorrow morning car still drives perfect no chassis or susp damage, I feel sorry for the bloke but pissed off that he did the wrong thing and it ended up bad for him.

sh*t, that sucks hope its not a write off and that the motorbicyclist is ok and that you have no repercussions from his stupidity. I like bikes and the fun that enthusiasts seem to have, but they come from nowhere and just need to take a second not to dodge and weave.

glad you and the rider are allright.

I doubt the car is a writeoff as there is not much damage. My territory was Tboned by a Hilux doing 60km/h and it is not being written off.

It will be about $15k damage, but it is much worse than yours as the whole K frame and right suspension is stuffed.

sh*t...no good mate,looking at the photos it doesnt look like a ride off. Hope it all works out alright. The main thing is that you and the other bloke are o.k.
