you can see he speeds up to try and get around you.
Even if you WERE going right, his move was dangerous and without due care and attention (which is what you should be shouting about imo)

He speeds up.

Not exactly given you much space has he.
Overtaking on broken hatched lines is perfectly fine.
-1 obs points for the overtake at the zig zags (we all do it) and not doing a life saver.
^^ see above about 'i was going right gov, honest. He turned into me as i was following the bmw round the roundabout' I bet your neck, ankles and wrists hurt now too.. don't they..

How'd you manage that? Unless you've got one of the EU bollocks media player free editions and no other video player installed?
Both of you were in the wrong lanes for the direction you were heading IMO (assuming you were going straight on?). I think the car was trying to go around the roundabout with you, stupid but that's what car drivers do. I'm inclined to agree with pjay, I'd be vague about what direction I was heading, I think there's enough of a squeeze there to 'justify' going down. |

I don't see that the OP was at fault for travelling straight on in the right-hand lane. Rule 186 of the highway code says that if you are turning right (like the car was doing), then you must be in the right-hand lane (and he wasn't); and that if you're going straight on then unless there are road markings (there weren't), then "select the appropriate lane on approach to and on the roundabout". Where road markings do exist, it's common on two-lane roundabouts for both lanes to be marked with arrows for 'straight on'.
Especially as here, the road opposite exits the roundabout at maybe 1 o'clock rather than 12 o'clock, I can't see how the OP can be said to be in the wrong lane.
In the attached still from the video, it seems to me clear that the bike is in the right lane and the car is in the left; ie, the bike has not just squeezed in to the car's right-hand lane. Fast-forward to the point of impact, and the car is clearly cutting across and is blocking the right-hand lane. If the OP had been driving a car rather than a bike, and had been turning right rather than straight on, there would still have been an impact and nobody would claim that it was anything other than the left-hand car's fault, would they?
What's particularly shitty IMHO is that clearly this wasn't a SMIDSY as the car was overtaking at the time (and just assumed the bike would get out of his way).
Root cause of the accident was of course bloody stubbornness and testosterone overload in both parties. ____________________ KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS->R1250RS

A couple of points.
NO LANES LEADING UP TO OR ON ROUNDABOUT... Therefor road position means nothing.
CAR WAS INDICATING
CAR was actually in front when setting of at the roundabout. So OP should have seen the indicator.
OP overtook on zig zag lines
Failed to notice car indicating to turn right at roundabout, because he was intent on getting there 1st.
Will have been in drivers blind spot, as well as driver concentrating on his own actions, and not everyone else....
I think OP will be shooting himself in the foot if that vid gets submitted. Editing out the 1st bit may only make it look worse if the rest is asked for by the other party..... ____________________ Just because my bike was A DIVVY, does not mean i am...... |
