    Damn @ElectricWave, that sucks. Glad you had your helmet and escaped relatively unscathed.

    I wouldn't worry about the board. Looks like it'll buff right out ;)


    Distracted driving is so incredibly dangerous though. That's one thing I can actually say the UK government seems to be doing right recently, they've just upped the penalty for using your phone while driving to 6 penalty points and a £200 ($300) fine.

    12 penalty points within 3 years will get your licence revoked, so a 2nd strike and you're out.

    A lot more people seem to be taking it seriously here now.

    Sorry you had to go through this. Been there myself on a bicycle many years back. Their Insurance company tends to keep things as hush hush as they can and wants to settle things quickly and underpay.

    Please give us an update on how it all pans out.

    Yea, sucks. I got hit from behind while riding ON THE F'ing shoulder (like a 4 foot wide shoulder) by some douche in an old pickup truck. Either drunk, on the phone, or trying to scare me and got too close. Fortunately for me it was just the mirror (those oversized ones that they put on so they can see better if they are trailering something). It swung in and broke the passenger window. He never stopped. Strange thing is it didn't even knock me down. It felt like I got shocked and it took me a bit to even realize what happened. By then they were too far away to get a licence number. A couple inches closer and I'd be dead. Anyway, I just ended up with a massive bruise on my back and a nervous twitch every time a vehicle approaches from behind now... Glad you're ok.

    Cheers,

    -Jim

    Whoa, there's a robot version of me now? Awesome, haha. Thanks to everyone for all the kind words. I'm sitting at work right now, but my body is definitely still feeling the impact from yesterday. Ride safe everyone!

    Ha, yeah, I've started pulling in some of the electric skateboard based YouTube streams.

    Rest up man, we need more action footage out in the field!
