Cops spotted my wheelie
I have been sent court papers saying I need to go to attend for not being in proper control of my motorcycle and driving without due care and attention. I was recorded pulling two wheelies on the same stretch of road by an unmarked police car. I was not stopped and reported at the time. […]
Report is intrusive
I was knocked off my Tiger a year and a half ago and my compensation claim is ongoing. I was in the army for 10 years and was getting promoted fairly frequently. Due to my accident, I was medically discharged and I have recently started working in IT. I will now lose quite a bit […]
Was I covered on my commute?
In May I was riding to work when I had an accident with a car on a roundabout. I agreed to accept 50% of the blame as we were equally at fault for the accident. But my insurer is refusing to pay the other driver for the damage to her car. They say that my […]
I came off on a pothole
I came off when my front wheel hit a pothole and had a broken wrist and a badly fractured shoulder. I complained to the council but they denied responsibility. I believe the pothole was an obvious danger. What do I need to do to get some compensation for my injuries, kit and bike damage? Andrew […]
I was in a hit and run
I had an accident when I crashed my beloved Ducati Diavel because I was forced off the road by someone who then fled the scene. I had pretty bad left leg injuries and damage to my bike and leathers so I filed a claim with the Motor Insurers’ Bureau. However they have rejected my claim. […]
What happens if they do a runner?
I had a close shave last week which has been playing on my mind. It was shocking to me. A car pulled across my path from a junction and the driver didn’t even seem to realise what he had done. I managed to brake hard enough to avoid hitting the car, but I nearly lost […]
How can I get my cash?
I was knocked off when filtering on my BMW R 1250 in September 2022. My claim had been going well with my solicitor until we reached a point where he said he could not advise me in relation to some help I received. Before the accident, I did all the DIY but I could not […]
A pedestrian stepped into my path
I was riding my Fazer 600 to work when traffic was stationary up ahead. Nothing was coming the other way so I filtered past the traffic queue at about 20/25mph. A teenager stepped out into my path and knocked me off. I was luckily not badly injured but my bike needed some repair work. I […]
Should I accept a 50/50?
In August I was riding near Ross on Wye. I came up to a queue of slow-moving traffic so I filtered past on the outside. I was going about 30/35 on a 60-limit road and there were no junctions where I was overtaking. Having passed a few cars one pulled out to do a U-turn […]
Taken out by a skateboard
In June I was riding to work in Lincoln. It was a single-lane road in each direction with kerbs on both sides and the speed limit was 30mph. I was probably doing about 25 to 30 mph. A lad on a skateboard was on the kerb coming towards me on my side of the road. […]
Was the speeding fine out of time?
I got caught by a speed camera on 12 November but the Notice of Intended Prosecution only arrived on 4 December. I believe that if I didn’t receive it within 14 days then they couldn’t enforce it. Is there anything else I need to know before I appeal this? I recently moved houses which could […]
