Amnesia
Can't remember what happened, don't know how I got there, can't believe I'm not dead
Injuries
Severe head injury and a big scar on my face. Two weeks in hospital, months recovering. No one else was hurt
Who's fault?
The main witness stated that I was following her driving slowly and sensibly for 12 miles. The police are not sure what really happened but they think I may have been overtaking at the final moment, it is not clear
Conviction
Only one after 12 years driving: Driving without Due care and Attention 6 points and a £70 fine. Not enough? I was unemployed at the time, was the only injured party and my life was destroyed for some time
FAQ
Why did it split in half?
Well it was getting quite old in 98 (it was an 85 model) I think corrosion had weakened the steel. And the car that I hit was brand new and BIG. If he was doing 70mph and I was doing 70mph we are talking a lot of combined speed. Also if the back of my car had not split off I expect I would be dead as the energy was taken away by the rear splitting away. The car was not very old when I bought it so I doubt it was two cars welded together (cut and shut).
