Sorry to hear it, go and get checked out for God's sake. That knee looks like it's about to pop.

You appear to have damaged your English comprehension skills in the accident. What happened exactly?

Bike looks not too bad, but any damage is pretty gutting. Forks look twisted in the yolks, loosen off the clamps and they should pop back straight again.

Are your knees always that knobbly, or is that REALLY REALLY swollen?

I would get that knee checked out if I were you.

And I would happily attend the driver improvement course and learn what I could from it.

I had to do one of those courses when I crashed my first car almost 6 years ago, it was 2 days of talking about crashes and then driving like learners in a fiesta. It was pretty useless for me though as I had only just passed my test.

Unless they can prove that you were speeding (beyond reasonable doubt?), or you admit to it, there is naff all they can do, all taking you to court will do is cost them a bunch of money to prove nothing.

You can always change your mind. It largely depends on what you were daft enough to admit to, or rather what the police can credibly convince a court that you admitted to.

I guess you know it now, but never admit to any offence at the time - there's plenty of opportunity to plead guilty if you are prosecuted - and think twice, and then again for luck, before making any statement about what happened, even if you think it might help you.

However, since this happened because you demonstrably were riding too fast for either the conditions or your judgement (or both) then I say all this with the strong suspicion that you were in fact riding like a nobber and would probably benefit from a course in how to avoid killing yourself and smashing up other people's vehicles.

A tenner says you pulled a wheelie and the car stopped unexpectedly leaving you nowhere to go
