As they were secondary victims of your and little miss' collision, I guess investigators will lean towards their view on who was running the red.

Fingers crossed. That would work in my favor.

@ThroughandThrough, commiserations on the accident, wishing you a speedy recovery and an all-OK outcome. Sorry man - shit happens but it wasn't your fault.
Texting* and driving is a modern day scourge of motoring and, in my opinion, is far more insidious even than drink-driving. Why?
- Scores more people text and drive than drink and drive
- People text and drive all hours of the day, every day of the week whereas drink-driving patterns have a higher frequency on specific days and times.
- Texting and driving TAKES YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD. Don't do it!

* Texting universally applied to Facebooking, sms'ing, chatting, face-timing etc.

I couldn't agree more.

Texting, checking e-mail, picking a new song...the few seconds you look down at your phone could dramatically change someone's life, if not kill them and/or yourself.

People know better, they just think it won't happen to them.

Wow, glad you're OK.
Were you checked out at the hospital?

I've been wanting to invest in dash cam, maybe you should too now.

Blimey!! Sorry to read this. I hope you get better soon and that they throw the book at her. Absolutely disgraceful, but sadly it's common nowadays. I see people on their phones all the time. I always intervene and tell them to put their phone away, which for some reason they don't like.

I've been using my horn more than I used to wake up distracted drivers at traffic lights.

Any further updates ? How is your recovery process and the insurance payout? Did the ones responsible receive the appropriate penalty?
