Luckily, i was able to brake and swerve round to avoid it. When I went past there was a odd looking fella in the car and he just pulled away like nothing happened. I can only assume he was trying to get me to go into the back of him. Does this sort of thing happen often? |

Yeah, thought people might think that lol. It was coming off junction 9 on the M27, two lanes coming up to the lights. He was ahead of me in the left lane, and I was in the right. He, without indicating cut into my lane, so, I started to brake to pull back, when he slammed them on. So i braked hard and swerved into left lane, when he proceeded to just pull away through the red lights. Bearing in mind this is all about 11pm at night with no-one else around, so no reason for his mental driving. ____________________ Riding: Yamaha MT-09 Tracer Occasionally Riding: 08 Suzuki SV650, Potato: 2011 Yamaha YBR Custom.

His fault entirely, he was on the wrong side of the road due to parked cars on his left, he looked at the junction, was partially blinded by sunlight (road goes uphill) and just plain didn't see bikeist coming down the road.
Her bike was broke though. Small scuff to pedal, broken SPD shoe, clout mark on rear triangle of the frame and the back wheel pringled.
She claimed for everything. Payout = £4200ish.
She bought the bike s/h for a bag'o'sand.
I don't support what she claimed for even though she was technically in the right. Reaming people who fess up to their failings is morally abhorrent. Put it right, yes, but don't take the piss. |
You'd be surprised at how quickly the cost for this stuff can mount up though - like for like replacement has its merits and because she bought the bike for 1k doesn't mean she didn't buy it off someone cash strapped for a real low price. If it was say a 4 year old model, the modern day equivalent could easily be 3-4 times value. Added to that anyone who's spending a grand on a used push bike likely has aftermarket/upgraded stuff such as pedals, wheels and so on. Wheel set prices can make a motorcyclist's eyes water, as do tyres. Technical fabrics in a skin suit/lycra get-up can easily mount to £150+. Extras such as the pedals can easily be swapped from an old bike too. I merely commute to work on mine (no long club rides or triathlons or anything) and I bet me extras are easily similar value to the actual ride.
As for 'over-claiming' if you went for a slide down the road at someone else's say-so, would you tick every box possible? |

had something similar re: whiplash in the car. pulled up to my drive, no cars behind me so begin to reverse, still checking no cars, i am reversing from right side in so check right mirror and over right shoulder so i dont hit the side-wall,
next minute all i hear is a loud scratching noise down my left car side and a loud scream, an idiot woman had pulled right up next to my car whilst i was reversing in and i had managed to scrape the side of my car down the front of hers at around 5mph,
somehow she managed to claim £4k in whiplash from that and also won the case |
