For those that don't know, Viv, the wife to be in less then a month now got into a accident. Basically she was making a left turn, light s went amber, she waited as 3 cars blew a LATE yellow. Light now red so she had to exist intersection by taking her turn. 3rd lane, someone she never saw when she checked (trust me she checked) was racing the light and blew a red light at 100kph (60kph limit). she hit the side of car (lucky she was not tbones).
In the end she only had some pain in her thumb, aggravated a OLD whiplash and a minor concussion. she walked away from this one. Only issue with recovery is she has some vertigo (inner ear crystals moved because of accident, I had to look it up to) and the remains of concussion means she cant drive or sit at a pc so if off work now for 3 weeks. But she its almost completely cleared up so hoping she can start driving whiten a few days and back to work in another week or so.
So hey guys, BE safe, Ie check, check again and hell check again as some people are dumb. In a weird coincident, one of our friends just wrote off his bike in a similar accident Monday, he is riding along and someone just attempted to drive across the street and he hit the side of the car. Again dumb people, but scary part is dike or car both incidents where preventable and could have happened same way if in a car or bike.

So some good news, she started work again today. 3 1/2 days then full time next week. The vertigo has gotten a hell of a lot better. she can deal with the drive. The floresent lights are not helpfull but in the end dhe only got a little dizey.
Now if only bluecross (her work insurance) would poney up. thye have been dicking us aroud since day 1. The bike insurance kicks in after the work one which sucks as the bike insurance guys already said they will cover whatever blue will not. but blue being a bitch even aproving the time off so she gets payed for it.
