You'll get by just fine, I trust he still does papers. :) Sent from here to there with computer wizardry.

Hahaha. Looks like your corner shop does a fine line in 'under-the-counter' goods ;)

The only thing, other than his eyesight, that could have hindered his view was the A-pillar of his car. That being the case, come to a halt until you are certain nothing is coming before you cross the oncoming lane. The driver doesn't seem to slow down at all before he makes his turn, let alone...

I'm sure the solicitors will do their job well. My main concern at the moment is that the guy is checked out. My son's school is not far from there, in fact there are several schools nearby. If that had been my wife with my son on the back seat of her bike, I dread to think how they may have...

Nothing like a bit of local knowledge, eh! Cheers rolando177. Try watching the video again. He's not stationary before he turns, he keeps moving and turns straight across the oncoming lane. I've driven that road a lot and it's more than possible to see what's coming down the hill, providing you...

The cam is a GoPro session 4 (the little cube one) in a chest mount. I wonder whether it's more or less likely to get damaged on a helmet? Or more likely to cause an injury if crushed into your chest? Neither probably!

Thanks Wicky. In my experience it's the family and/or friends who intervene with an elderly person who's failing eyes and reactions convince them to stop driving. I got the impression it was quite the opposite here! Once piece of advice I received regarding the passenger's involvement is...

Cheers Neal. I'm really wondering whether the old guy was even supposed to be driving. Time will tell on that one, but I'll be amazed if he's deemed fit to drive. The reading number plate test for driving licence is utter outdated rubbish and doesn't consider peripheral vision at all. Doctor or...

Yes, cheers. I'll be taking a somewhat more protective line next time I take that corner I think, leave myself a bit more of a back door exit and plan for the unexpected to happen!

Not sure on cost yet. The bike is a Lynskeys titanium on-one, handmade in Tennessee I think. Irreplaceable! I don't think that many were made. Game changing ti hardtail when it first came out. Rare now...

Haha. Are eye tests available free on the nhs? Sent from here to there with computer wizardry.

Bang on the button D8ve. Household ins. have put me onto a good solicitors firm who are running things now. Still taken an inordinate amount of time to deal with ins.co., solicitors, doctors, hospital, police etc. this week. Sent from here to there with computer wizardry.

Yes, apologies for the potty mouth language, I couldn't work out how to mute that part so uploaded as is. I thought it was reasonably reserved considering the circumstances! Well spotted on the new best headlight. I purchased, I think it was on d8veh's recommendation. Very pleased with it...

Cheers, I can still hear the impact in my head! Sent from here to there with computer wizardry.

Sussex plod are on the case, but so far they are proving to be no Perry Mason! Sent from here to there with computer wizardry.

Cheers Eddie. Nobody else stopped at all! Something of a moral responsibility if you ask me, I always do if I witness something. It does go to show how helpful cams can be. It'll probably be a few weeks until I'm back on the bike. Also I will need to order some parts to replace the damaged and...

The footage continues for a further 15 mins during which time they do their utmost to avoid providing any details. Instead, asking me if I had insurance, telling me they're sure I am fine and my bike won't cost much to fix. If I hadn't had the cam on I think they might have driven off planning...

Well then why is he driving?! This beggars belief, it really does! - Feeling very fortunate that I wasn't more injured than I am. Take care out there people.

Me too. But you can't beat a bit of proper Berghaus! ;) Sent from here to there with computer wizardry.

They do look a bit shonky in the listing, but no biggie at £14 delivered! Sent from here to there with computer wizardry.
