That's a real shame that the driver didn't get cited. My accident last June was the same thing - driver turned left in front of me. Technically yes, I hit her, but she was the one who failed to yield. I wasn't badly injured, was totally conscious and pretty mad.... so she didn't get to tell tales and did indeed get a ticket for failure to yield. (cop even said it was pretty clear cut).

Good to hear that Chris is doing better. It sounds like quite the harrowing crash! If he was only going about 15mph (it was about the same for me probably 15-20) makes me wonder how fast the car was going! Then again I think my biggest stroke of luck was that it was a *car* that I tangled with. Vans and SUV's are just so much worse.
