He moved left, she assumed he was taking the next left, continued past in the right hand lane of the dual carriageway only to find he had moved left to get a bigger swing at the (no u-turns signed) gap in the central reservation. She had to be taken away in the air ambulance, and the BMW driver just trotted out some lame crap to the judge about being a CEO and needing his car, he did get done but not nearly commensurate with the damage to her and her bike that he wilfully caused by being a typical BMW cockwomble. He had no chance of doing a runner though - the car behind him was old bill.She was lucky in a way because there were witnesses to the accident. Not so with my accident where the young scrote turned into me without looking or indicating and got away with it because it was his word against mine that he signalled. :o
