sadly on Monday 28th May 2012 my yellow Vespa T5 bit the dust...while filtering through stationary traffic in Dixon Street Wolverhampton a woman in a Mercedes B150 decided she would do a right turn into a works car park without either looking or indicating...although there is a dent in the front wing of her car all the damage to the scooter was done by her front wheel...I think she hit me with such force that the scooter shot from underneath me and I hit the car before I hit the floor!!..lucky for me I only have cuts and bruises but at my age I'm sure the healing process is going to be slow!!..and when I say cut's & bruises I ache all down my left side...my ribs...and especially my left thigh as I had my house keys and my phone in my left trouser pocket...
Incidentally...it was almost 20 years to the day (20 years and 2 days to be precise) since my last accident...May 26th 1992 I was knocked off my PX by a non English speaking Pakistani taxi driver which left me with two broken arms and a dislocated shoulder...
that's the last of two spare Vigano screens I had lying around...
with all that window space where could she have been looking not to see an eighteen stone bloke on a bright yellow scooter!!..
this is what happens when you are clobbered by eighteen stone and a set of keys!!..
