That was my
first motorbike crash 9 years ago. No broken bones with the recent one - just a load of road rash.
List of accidents before I came to Thailand:
1 x split lip from jumping up the stairs when I was a toddler.
List of accidents after I came to Thailand:
1 x shattered hip
2 x cracked vertebrae
3 x stitches in right eyelid
6 x stitches in chin
1 x burn on left shin (no feeling there now - just a white bit of flesh about 20cm x 10cm)
2 x large scars up both arms (road rash)
1 x small scar on bridge of nose
1 x small scar on left cheek (face)
1 x large (30cm) scar on left cheek (butt) from being opened up to fix shattered hip.
Hmmm... maybe I shouldn't ride a motorbike anymore.
P.S The first guy wasn't the 'victim' per se - he pulled out of a soi without looking and caused the accident. I shouldn't have been on the road in the first place though. In England I'd be looking at jail time regardless of myself causing the accident or not.
