In 2007 I was knocked over by a completely drunk driver. Broke both my legs, my right arm and dislocated my shoulder. Four operations and 18 months later I started mountain biking and am still too nervous to get back on my road bike, although my original road bike now fits in a box a little bigger than a shoe box. The state prosecuted and driver and he is now serving a two year sentence. I am busy claiming from him for my bike in a civil case but the case still continues. The driver is unemployed so cannot pay for the costs. My claim with the road accident fund is also continuing so it can be a long process.
