    I only mentioned it, because that was exactly the situation when I got
    knocked off a bandit.

    In my case it took 10 months and a careless driving conviction before
    the other persons insurance finally admitted that they were 100%
    liable.

    I didn't get any admission of guilt, in fact I didn't bother talking
    to the driver at all as I would've probably ripped her fucking head
    off for being so blind.

    The case is still dragging on because instead of said blind bint
    passing her insurance details to RSS she decided to be a pain in the
    ass and send all correspondence to her insurance company and rely on
    them to forward it on RSS. Needless to say I got a little pissed off
    with the delay so I paid her a visit on Tuesday to extract said
    details personally.

  8. Do you mind? My girlfriend's sitting here with me, reading
    everything, and says when she's finished with me she's coming for you
    next. She's a black belt, by the way...

    Cheers for the thoughts, though. Replies to follow.

  10. Well relayed, good sir.
    Latest I've heard is that the forks have snapped, just below the
    bottom yoke. The frame didn't look too bad, but it's a Bendit, so
    probably will be buggered. That's all I know so far.
    Fat bikers bounce better. The A&E doctor thought they'd mixed up my
    x-rays, as he was certain I had to have broken something. I also
    broke the screen off the Bandit with my testicles as I went over, so
    they are somewhat larger than usual and rather purple at the moment,
    not to mention bloody sore...
    One of the witnesses is known to my family, and phoned last night to
    see how I was. She said she'll be putting a good word in for me. I
    was careful not to say or do anything potentially prejudicial, though.
    I've spoken to the janitor who took charge at the scene, and he's put
    in his report that speed was *not* a factor, and that in his opinion I
    did all I reasonably could to avoid collision; the car driver was at
    fault, although he's doubtful the CPS would be able to make anything
    stick under the circumstances; the driver's excuse was that the sun
    was behind me and he couldn't see anything.
    Indeed, let that be a warning.

    Many thanks to all who have responded, I will be back.

    psychedelic nightmare...

    Eww, poor chap, glad to hear nothing broken though ('cept the bandit).
    In the few months since I passed my test, approaching a car waiting to
    emerge from a junction always makes me uneasy, and has already resulted in a
    few oh shit moments when the dozy cunts pull out at the wrong time.
    Sounds very lucky, good job too.
    This is both good and bad news. By admitting liability at the scene the car
    driver could be deemed to have effectively prejudiced his insurer's
    position, and technically they would be entitled to decline cover. However,
    they would have to be total cunts to try to make it stick though. When I was
    an insurance broker I only had it happen once, when a client was involved in
    a collision with a couple of pikeys who "encouraged" him to sign a written
    admission of fault at the scene. It took a lot of sorting out and the
    insurer did end up dealing with the matter.
    Someone on UKRM (can't remember who) advised me when I first passed my test
    to ride the bike on the assumption that everyone else on the road is trying
    to kill you. It works for me.

    GWS Darren, and nail the fucker.
