Right to return new bike
I bought a new bike two or three weeks ago and was going to have a go at #ride5000miles, but the more I ride it the more I realise that I just don’t like the bike. I took it for a test ride beforehand and was aware that there were a few niggles then, but […]
Disputed insurance valuation
I recently bought a second hand Honda Fireblade for £5,000 from a dealer. I thought it was a good price and I insured it for £5,000. The broker did not query the value. One week later I had an accident and the bike was written off. I have just received an offer of £3,000. I […]

Does medical negligence affect my claim
I had an off just over a year ago and managed to do myself a fairly nasty set of injuries to my left leg. Anyway the other side admitted liability early on and have been paying for treatment and have generally been fair up until recently. The issue is I was in for some treatment […]
Crash caused by object in the road
Hello. I was coming into Birmingham on my Fazer in the summer and entered a roundabout and everything was fine. Then suddenly I spotted a bucket in the road right in front of me. I swerved to avoid it but came off and broke my wrist and thumb. A witness took a photo of the […]
I’m being followed after an accident
I am currently pursuing a personal injury claim following a motorcycle accident I had in 2016. I was seriously injured and I was off work for over 12 months. I have always liked to keep myself busy and although my injuries have curtailed my hobbies, during my recovery I am still often found working on […]
Changing story after an accident
I was riding my Suzuki GSX-R125 in town when a guy in a Jag pulled out of a side road into my path. I took evasive action but ending up coming off and hitting a parked car breaking my collar bone and damaging my bike and kit. The other driver gave the police his insurance […]
Can I appeal a court decision
I was in court last week as a result of my bike accident in 2017. I was claiming against a taxi driver for injuries that I received in the accident but I lost the case. My brother said I should appeal and have a retrial. The facts of the accident were the taxi driver turned […]
Crash caused by misleading indication
I was waiting at a junction to turn left onto a main road and as the car coming towards me from my right was indicating left and looked like it was slowing down I assumed she was turning into the road I was exiting. As I pulled out she knocked me off my bike. Her […]
Bike damaged by road gritting
I was riding my Vespa 125 along an A-road in Derbyshire the other evening travelling behind a truck. I kept a safe distance behind as I usually would. Suddenly orange/yellow lights lit up and grit started chucking out from the back of it. It turns out it was a council lorry out gritting and I […]
What to disclose on comparison site
I had an email from my insurer telling me they would automatically renew my insurance on my Ninja 650R. But the premium was 25% more than I paid last year. This did not seem right to me as I haven’t made any claims, so I went on to a comparison website and found much cheaper […]
Rear ended at T junction – They say I’m to blame
I have a claim resulting from what I thought was as straightforward an accident as you could imagine! But I have received a letter from my solicitor saying the guy who hit me is alleging I was to blame. This is what happened. I approached a junction and as it was not clear for me […]
Sat-nav blocking driver’s view
Could you tell me the rules about placing aftermarket sat nav systems in cars? I see them anywhere on windscreens including blocking the driver’s view. Yesterday I passed a driver with the sat nav at eye height right in front of her face! It seems that there are no rules to protect other road users […]

I was leaving an out of town shopping centre at the end of November when as exiting the car park onto the main road I was knocked off by a lady in a big Merc 4×4. She obviously didn’t see me. I managed to hobble to the side of the road and someone there called […]
Spill on the road
I read in last month’s press about a strange incident where there was a spillage of around a ton of chocolate on a road in Westönnen, Germany. A tank of chocolate in a factory spilled and poured into the street. It then solidified. It took 25 firefighters using shovels, hot water and blowtorches to clear […]
Single justice procedure prosecution
I was recorded at 52mph in a 30 limit. I got the NIP on 16/8/18 and sent it back at once. I thought I was in line for 6 points and a hefty fine but heard nothing until 24/1/19 when I received a letter saying the evidence was being forwarded to the magistrates court and […]
Icy road accident
I’ve been trying to get 2 different water leaks stopped which run across a road at Five Ashes Road, near Mayfield in East Sussex. Southern water say it’s not their issue and that it’s a private leak and East Sussex Highways have looked into it and are doing nothing about it even though I told […]
How long have I got to make a claim
I had quite a bad accident in May 2015 caused by a big spill of diesel on a roundabout. I was in and out of hospital for many months and have still not fully recovered – from not only physical injuries but I have been very emotionally affected also which is not like me at […]
