Throttled Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 The easiest way to assess situations like this is to reverse them. So you ask the car driver - if you were first off the roundabout and a bike had overtaken you and clipped the side of your car, whose fault would it have been them?

Colin the Bear Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Never argue the toss. The camera records the incident. Exchange details and send insurers the footage. A driving instructor should be well aware what the red L means. He needs to retake his instructor ticket. Total misjudgement on his part and a complete mis reading of the road ahead. Scooters should be in the gutter and not in my way. PffftI do think pointing out the camera diffused a situation that could have become violent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XmisterIS Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 This is exactly why I wanted to get off L-plates and onto a full licence ASAP when I started riding - those little scooters are death traps - small, vulnerable and slow. You can't put any distance between yourself and some tw@t who wants to kill you. Terrifying - from personal experience! Since getting the SV, tw@t cagers like that only ever appear as small dots in my wingmirrors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin the Bear Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I must admit that I took off the "L" plates when I was on a provisional back in the 70's due to the way other road users reacted to them. The difference was instant and noticable. Nothing has changed, just more traffic , so this sort of thing will happen more frequently.

nman1 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Whatever the road layout, the twat in the jag was overtaking him, now whether that is a legal or illegal move on this road, he cut in too soon and side swiped the poor lad causing him to nearly come off. Dangerous driving in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
