I am sorry to hear of this happening to you. I hope you were able to get the needed information before you were rushed off to hospital. In the meantime eat well and rest so you can be yourself again.

Oh Fredwina!!! I am glad you weren't hurt more and hope the bike wasn't either. I really wish we had mandatory driving tests at periods through out our lives, youngsters and old people really scare me on the roads!

BikerZ, aka_kim, and I were nearly taken out once by an old lady making a left turn directly into our path - it was a very close call.
Old people who drive when they clearly shouldn't are a big threat to all of us.
I hope you heal up soon, Fredwina!
