Thank you ladies!! Few things bug me more than people chickening out like that. He didn't even know if they were hurt!
OakLeaf, I think you may have me mixed up with some other martial arts chicky here. Either that or you have really terrific memory - I did do a little karate but that was 22 years ago, and I can't remember mentioning it here. But maybe I did, my memory isn't too hot.
Actually, in spite of plenty of rescue training, first-aid courses and live rescue scenarios - I really suck at keeping a cool head when it's needed. I'm very analytical left to my own devices, but hand me just a little stress and I do the dumbest things. If I'm involved in a big accident, I'm the one that somebody in charge will set to moving rocks from A to B, just to keep me out of trouble.
That's why I'm so stoked at for ONCE getting that licence plate!!

Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

Yay! I know just how hard it is to manage to get a license plate # in a situation like that. Way to go.

Good job, LPH. This makes me think I really should carry a pen. In the heat of the moment, there's much to take in. It's really hard to keep numbers straight for more than a few minutes.

So, did you write it down, or remember it?? I agree, I'd have to have a pen and paper. I think I'll start carrying them!

+1. That's why I carry a mini Sharpie in my pack. No need for paper -- just write on your arm or hand.

Nice going!
I only thought a sharpie would be good for making hitchhiking signs.
