A bigger truck?
The backs tend to be harder than the front. We all see it most days, they drive up each other's arses & one day it will happen. (not saying you where tail gating, because i don't know)
Glad you're good matey :) :) :) Get behind that wheel asap & don't get put off by it :y :y
-
Oh dear-Lord! :o
....hope your health is returning and soon will be 'as good as new'. :-*

least you got your moneys worth trashing a 59 plate 8-)
Seriously though very lucky :y

-
very lucky mate

You is one very, very lucky person :y :y :y
Knee might hurt, boredom might set in, but you are still breathing and have all your sensess .... be grateful.... :y :y :y :y
Have a good christmas ... you came very close to missing it .... :( :(
-
Glad your o.k apart from the leg it could have been a lot, lot worse
-
It just was not your time, matey....
Count your blessings though. Boredom gives you that 20/20 hindsight opportunity that few folks ever get. You may not get another chance to do that. ;)
I had a similar 'moment' not that very long ago, albeit not in a crash, but it certainly changed my outlook on life thereafter.
Onwards and upwards, mon ami!! :y
-
shit the bed thats a mess yer a lucky barsteward all the best at gettin better
-
Bloody Hell Mick, you will never be that lucky again mate! Enjoy the time off, allow yourself to heal properly, and have a bloody good knees-up (no pun intended LOL) at Christmas & New Year ;D ;D :y
-
Jeez ... I rarely take the Good Lord's Name in vain ... but I did when I saw those pics !!!
Lucky strikes me as an understatement -- definitely a new trousers moment !
-
Your drivers seat must've been on the bunk. The way the bottom of the cab is less damaged looks like you hit a 45ft container wagon who had'nt locked his knock bar out. At least thet's one less Scanny on the road & it was'nt a Volvo. (hate Scanias)!!!
Regardless you managed to get through a nasty one relatively unscathed which is all that matters. I'll take it easy on the way to Sunderland tomorrow!!! Guy.

As everyone said Mick,your a very lucky man indeed.I can sympathise with the broken knee,not many things are as painful.
You will be able to look back and have a laugh about it in years to come. :y
