I expect you've all seen this. Driver tweets about a collision.

It's good evening here postman. Typing upside down is easy enough but I don't understand how it always ends up the right way around when it reaches the mother country.

Update from CCroad

Update: We've spoken to Toby Hockley, the rider involved in the collision, to get a bit of background on the incident. He's pretty sure it was him, anyway. "The police said it was me", he told us, and the time and location fit the bill.
"I was riding on a country B-road with a friend, and descending a hill on a blind right hand corner", Toby told us. "I was sticking to the left as the corner was blind. A car came round in the opposite direction going much too quickly to make the corner safely. It missed the rider in front of me but hit me, my right leg caught the front right wing. I was thrown up onto the bonnet, I hit the side of windsrceen and the wing mirror. I bounced back off the car and went through a hedge for about 20 metres. I managed to keep control of the bike; the back brake had locked on but I managed to rejoin the road and stop in the middle of it"
Amazingly Toby made it through the incident with only minor damage to himself and the bike. "I have a sore elbow, a bruised knee, nettle stings from riding through the hedge, but nothing serious", he told us. "The headset of the bike is loose from the collision, one of the levers got knocked round the bars and there's bits of nettle in the chain, but I think the bike is intact."
"Myself and my friend burst out laughing when we finally came to a stop, more out of shock than anything else", he said. "You count your limbs and carry on".
In response to the incident Ms Way's employers have also made a short statement, both in response to emails from road.cc readers and also in the comments below. "Please be assured that this is not a view held by the firm and we most certainly do not condone this behaviour", they told us. "We are taking the incidents very seriously, and a full and detailed investigation will be carried out and appropriate action taken. We have already spoken to Norfolk Police."

I'd like to see video of it, clipped in, bonnet surfing, hedge penetrating, then finishing the sportive. Literally incredible!

I expect he freed the rear brake first though

I do hope she gets more than a smack on the wrists. I do not want to meet her when I'm out and about (she's local to me unfortunately ). If I saw her I'd probably administer more than a bloomin' slap

Young Women driving cars - much worse than young lads. Total pertol heads some (my niece is as bad).

Sorry if that's controversial, but it's based upon my experiences. I find young women very aggressive in cars.

Not so much controversial, as untrue. But it might be true that women are catching men up in terms of driving aggression.

@fossyant, looks like @theclaud is stalking you and watching all your interactions with YMD. After all how else can she know you are telling lies about your experiences?

I don't wish to make light of what could have been a very serious incident but I did have a flash back to this.

Did I say that?
