Hi folks, just came across this short slide show on live leak.   The guy was cut up by a car who clipped his handlebar and forced him under a following 18 tonne truck.   He is alive and all things considered doing well. I don't mind saying the message is powerfull and very thought provoking and I shed a tear.   watch it here, but please be forwarned that it contains pics of the crash and his injuries after initial treatment.....He's one brave guy to post the vid and a great lesson to everybody who drives as well as rides.   http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=275_1190800481                                                                                                                                                                             

Powerful stuff mate.  Just goes to remind me about the total lack of respect people have for other road users in general as well.                                                                                                                                                                                 

Powerful stuff                                                                                                                                                                               

that was awful!

 poor guy .real life ;real message to all. New driver should watch it ,

oh my what a brave man for puttin that up xxxxx                                                                                                                                                                              

I'm still crying and the vid is over. I can't understand how someone can cause an accident then just drive off.   Did the cops catch up with the hit and run driver?   What was it that was so important for them to get to that they had to bulldoze another road user out of their way?

Hi everyone New girl on the block here. That was very sad that someones' inconsiderate action could affect so many lives. God bless the poor fella.   I am looking to start biking (lessons 1st, etc) at some point and potentially that could have put me off BUT cant go worrying of what could happen otherwise none of us would do anything in life. Will make sure I keep my wits about me and place my trust in God on a wing and a prayer.   Ps was not going to make myself know until Photo sorted but felt so strongly here.............   Cheers all                                                                                                                                                                                    

Footnote:   I emailed the Guy saying what I thought and wishing him well and came straight back to me. What a nice guy and he likes to get messages and feedback from anyone re this   GG
