there is an element of truth there....
when i got tipped onto the deck....a few years back...
(and bitumen surfing is NOT fun...)
by a clown in a cage, who did a Uturn next to a No Uturn sign and WITHOUT indicating....
he got charged with ...doing a illegal turn....... der....
disobeying a traffic sign.....double der......
and dangerous driving.......coz i ended up in hospital...aaaah better....
but
on the steps of the court.
..the cage driver said he would plead GUILTY
to the illegal turn and disobeying a sign charges....
if the Dangerous Driving charge was dropped......
and it was....!
and afterwards, i was talking to the sergeant at Sandy' police
who was there to give evidence, and he told me that my accident wouldn't even get into the statistics...
because NO-ONE (!) was keeping statistics on bike accidents where no-one appeared to get hurt...
AND
because the Dangerous driving charge was dropped (pharrk i was mad!)
the traffic incident (it was NO accident) was not deemed worthy....
so mate
my serious leg injury and knee reconstruction didn't even make into the
files.......
oh btw.....
the cage driver was the Sales and marketing Director for Fosters
it would have been VERY embarassing if he lost his licence!!!
from the beak, he got $100 on each and 3 points.......very der....!
and I didn't even get any free beer....bastard......
my 2c on this
cheers
