Hi all.
Last weekend I was hit by a car trying to overtake and then swerved back in with me alongside him. Police attended and I was taken to hospital for MRI and X-rays and “fortunately” nothing broken, just a whole list of battered body parts and a broken bum cheek!
Long story short I’m putting together my evidence/losses and apart from some scratches to my shiny new Levo comp I was pretty lucky.
The question being my Poc tectal race helmet hit the road and is scratched up the back. Does anybody have any guidelines as to when/if a helmet should be replaced after a crash. I think the sensible answer is yes but trying to find info on the matter is tough and I know what insurance companies are like!
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Lee
