Well, at least someone gets their money back out of my little mishap on Sunday. The RAC are claiming against me for the cost of trucking the pieces of my bike back to my flat. My liability will be covered by my valid, fully comprehensive, £1,015 per year insurance. Meanwhile, the bike still sits in pieces in my garage and I have heard nothing about the possibility of getting it fixed. I am advised that my expensive, “fully comprehensive” insurance will definitely NOT cover getting any of my damaged kit replaced or getting a replacement hire bike in the meantime, but assume that it must cover fixing the bike eventually, otherwise it is unclear to me exactly what the point of having it would be. My reaction to learning that the RAC will be seen right by my insurers is similar to my reaction when the driver of the other vehicle in the incident advised me that he was alright, as I sat with blood running down my leg, shaking with shock as the adrenaline drained away and my brain caught up with what had happened — I couldn’t be more pleased for them.
