Poor lad

Probably a bikers worst nightmare.

Knob.

I had the same happen to me, except he didn't bother stopping. He just drove away with my bike attached to the front of his car whilst I lay in a coma.

I wish cancer on the cunt.

[Clarkie]

Some people fucking disgust me.

just up the road from me, think i recognise him from somewhere

I wasn't injured, but a hit and run driver left me pinned under my bike on a roundabout, he stopped, I could see him looking at me in my mirror and then he drove off.

[Benno]

I almost got knocked off by some cunt undercutting me on a roundabout the other day too. Pulled me over and yelled at me but I couldn't hear him because my ipod was blaring into my ears so I just stared at him. Something about me going slowly and stopping or something

This kind of thing makes me quite afraid. I'm not confident in gear's ability to protect against back injury (not just my gear but gear in general).

There really is some scum in the world.... he needs a good kick in the bollocks

Something I noticed in that article though.

[J.M.]

I hope somebody finds the driver and cuts his balls off... that's just crazy. How did he had the audacity to insult and leave someone injured, especially when it was his own fault?

Although:

[keggyhander]

I drive through there every morning and can honestly say I'm not surprised. Chesterfield drivers are so backward that the driver in question was probably still in wonder that he wasn't driving a horse and cart. That, and he was probably pointing at those amazing things called aeroplanes.

[J4mes]

Is it the right thing to do to put crash victims in the recovery position when they are conscious?

I know I fucking wouldn't!

Says in the report that "first aider saved him from being paralysed" but it later comes out that his back was broken in 3 places...

If it were me laying there I'd probably want leaving where I was until proper help arrived (unless unconscious/choking on vomit/blood whatever)

As others have said you should never move a crash victim unless you absolutely have to.

Unfortunately, the Daily Mail (and other media), don't let these basic facts to get in the way of a good story. Well done to the passer-by for calling an ambulance etc, but was he really put in a recovery position? I doubt it.

I, well we, should complain as it's this sort of thing which gives out very damaging information, making people think this is the right thing to do when it could be possibly the worst.

Makes me wonder... "serves you right", was he riding like a dick or something?

[Eddie Hitler]

Exact same thing happened to me, women carried on driving after she knocked me off and I had to run after her with a broken arm to stop the car. She then shouted and screamed at me.

Later turned out she had whiplash. Utter cunt.

Gutted for the lad... but disturbed by this at the bottom of the page :O

From my first aid training : we were told that if the person is consious and responsive and breathing = unless there is a immediate danger, dont move them .
Bodycheck for unusual bits & fluids.
That said they may be uncomftable lying in an awkward position, so what do you do in that situation?
It`s very scary coming across that type of situation, cos you`re not a doctor and dont know the history of what happened and you`re dammed if you do something and you`re dammed if you dont anything.

I was told ABC and 999.

ABC = airways, breathing, circulation.

I wonder if assault occasioning gbh would stick considering the cagers behaviour immediately prior to and after the smash?

I'm off to a 'Biker Down' session on Thursday, I'm looking forward to getting some more knowledge on the whole first aid thing.
