Wut a day.

So there I am, driving to my next work site, ironically a hospital.

Got a car merging in from the left that forced the Land rover in front of me to a dead stop...

So I stop, a full 2 foot gap... And bam surprise buttsecs from a Renault van, Bounced my head off the headrest, (yay. Not), pulled over, got out, made sure the moron was ok then got his details and checked the back of my van.. Dented door and bumper.

At the A&E now only cos the boss insisted..

Tho my head does feel like the last night at a Maiden concert.

Khai the annoyed.

Good start to the week.

In your own car or work vehicle? The worst part of this will be the fecking insurance.

I had the same happen several years ago and although not at all hurt I was properly shook up.

Good luck!

Sorry to hear that Khai. I hope everything turns out ok. Where in the UK was this?

Work van was hit.. Already being told his insurance is not contesting it and are offering repairs so there is that.

Tho makes you think if he's had issues before..

More annoyed that I'll be stuck here for least an hour before I see a doc

Okies docs verdict is, sore for the rest of the week but no real damage. Basically feels like I've been headbanging.

Back t work I go... Which surprises my boss for some reason

Hello, hopefully you are sleeping so not feeling it now......unfortunately you may feel the effects of headache and stiff neck /torso can often worsen a bit (24 to 48 hours is the norm reported).

Two or three days of ibuprofen and maybe something mildly codeine based if you can tolerate it should help. I personally wouldn’t suffer if there’s things out there that can help.

A&E should have given you something, but nowadays our NHS is not what it was( ret. nurse ).

You sound like you just get on with things when others would have demanded a sick note and sympathy. Kudos to you.

hiya all
sorry for the late update.. yup I'm ok. the next couple of days I just felt like I'd been headbanging at a maiden gig.. so no effect at all wink

the shakiness I felt when getting back behind the wheel was more annoying.. hence the delay posting again.. been getting my head straight... everytime I've pulled up, looked in the mirror and seen someone coming up behind I've found myself tensing.. stupid I know.

well put my report into work on what happened.. with drawings no less... and got the call I was waiting for today... company owner who deals with our vans and insurance.. totally not my fault, the other firm are taking full liabilty..

van goes in tomorrow for a damage inspection ahead of repairs.

looking at a new bumper, there's a cracked lens over the right lights cluster and the door is probably looking at replacement.. and that also requires new sign writing.

Glad that it has turned out alright


Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.
