    No where in the drive to the doctor does it say he was driving motorcycle.

    Of course, because it’s a green text with intentional misdirection. Nowhere does it say he was driving a motorcycle, and the wording leads us to assume he was in a car, but the revelation later that he was in the hospital after a motorcycle incident is the punchline.

      I’m not sure why you’re having such a hard time comprehending. The motorcycle accident he woke up from was the original accident. He was in a coma for 3 weeks but dreamt that 3 years had passed. Accident #2 occurred in his coma and not the real world. The punchline is that the 3 years were not real and he’d been in a coma for 3 weeks.

          The “but wasn’t In a car?” line definitely indicates that he was confused at the doctor telling him he’d been in a motorcycle crash, because the crash he “remembered” (within the coma, with his kid) was one where he was in a car.
