Oh man, gutted for you, I really am...
I just cannot believe that you had to go though all of that ON TOP of the accident and everything else... that you got banned at all is simply ridiculous!!!!
Did you only have 3rd party insurance? surely you shouldn't have to go though all of that to get reimbursed...? If so I'll be willing to bet that you'll be making a point of having fully comp next time... Ive made the same mistake in the past... and its just not worth it... (When that Lorry went on its merry way, there was nothing that i could do about it lying on the roadside,)
I hope that the pain for you will be over soon, and you can get back to normality...
