Accident involving vehicle driver and 2 ladies (foreign) on a scooter outside my house 30 mins ago.
Car driver did not see scooter, and turned accross them, so clearly in the wrong if scooter driven in a responsible manner.
However, both ladies wearing summer 'strappy' tops, both in short pants now with multiple roasties on their legs, and one of whom now has very large roasties over a large part of her back, and BOTH crash helmets (open-face) came off, suggesting they did not bother to strap them on,
One helmet had nasty scratches on it (took an impact) before it came off, but she indicated to the paramedic she had a sore head...
Lesson: helmets on hear with strap unattached = virtually no helmet at all, and ATGATT would have saved them the pain of roasties.
