Hit by driver - Help

[andyscooter]

what was the situation

were you sat at lights on a straight road

moving, at a stop

may be your word against his but if there was no reason for him to reverse then you may be ok

tell your insurance it wasn't your fault and let them deal with it

when I got knocked off years ago on a island the driver immediately got out and said

"you hit my car"

I was sat on the floor trying to work out if I was in pain or not

he was trying to call an ambulance but I managed to get him to call the police

they took markings down and asked what happened

he was told at the scene it was his fault and he had cut me up

I had come onto the roundabout from one side gone past three turns and was exiting when he came onto the island and the front of his car hit the footpeg on my bike

one of the reasons I ride with a cam this, any proof of bellends helps.

Also using a drift stealth 2, primarily the size/vid quality/price were a decent balance. I don't like cams that make you look like a teletubby and this was nice and small, have it stuck to the side of my lid.

Right ive spoken to the insurers - they tell me that my case is thin on the ground without evidence, that I was reversed into as opposed to me riding into a large white unmissable van...

Anyhow, ive ordered the new mud guard and its going to cost me £162 to have it replaced and fitted. Im oing to have to love with the minor scratches near the footwell. My excess is £250 so its me that has to pay it, which annoys me - ive been hit and my bike has been damaged yet its me that has to foot the bill, whilst the driver gets away.

Im about to order a helmet cam so thanks for the advice guys.

My insurer has suggested I contact the solicitors to see if there is any way I can get the money back. I strongly feel that the guy was not insured for business use and i hope that I can get him at this angle.

Some advice would be appreciated. Its either this or im gonna gift him with £162 worth of equal damage to his van,some time soon....

This was/is my mudguard, the bit where it attaches on the right side had also snapped off:

I cut the mudguard down and glued the bit that had snapped off back on. I wasn't prepared to pay £60 for a new one, even used breakers want £20+. I missed out on (a used) one that sold for a quid
