I wanted to share this story of what happened to myself today and how the lives of many people could have been changed forever. I was due to work at the Newark showground today, I was staying in a different hotel to my friend (the company booked it) so I went to pick him up. When I got there I realised I had left a hanger with a couple of items of clothing at my hotel so I had to go back. I took the incorrect exit at the roundabout but to my joy there was a lay by which I could pull into meaning I could go back on myself. Turning out of a lay by and going back on yourself is an illegal manoeuvre of which I am fully aware. I looked to my left and felt I had plenty of time to get out, as I pulled out my friend just shouted "NO" twice. For whatever reason I didn't check the traffic coming from the right. BANG, the impact was scary, all the glass in the door window shattered and everything went black for a couple of seconds. I looked out of the window and down to my right and saw a motorbike upside down. This is when the adrenaline really set in at the thought of what I had done, I was unable to open my door so my friend jumps out and I climbed over and got out too. Then time just seemed to slow down, my fear being I'll be looking down at a lifeless figure and never being able to forgive myself for taking someone's life and causing never ending suffering for all of the victims family and friends. The biker throws a bunch of excusable expletives my way and then just gets to his feet and dusts himself off. I apologise profusely and my friend calls an ambulance, a few witnesses come over and tell him to sit down, one of them has previous experience in dealing with this sort of trauma. Once the ambulance has been and done their checks on him it seems he just has a slightly sore shoulder. Apparently the biker was going at around 55mph, a member of the ambulance crew says to me they have seen less serious impacts resulting in fatalities. The biker is so lucky as he had all his protective gear on, some bikers on a sunny day ride in jeans and a tshirt. I cannot apologise enough to the biker and deserve any punishment that is coming my way. What happened today will stay with him forever and I just hope he can carry on living his life to the full and not be affected too much by my selfish and wreckless actions.
