What's the worst that can happen?

[DukeRed]

Last night filtering through traffic, got to the last row of cars till the traffic lights. Since this was the first day I had had mirrors on my bike for about a month I wasn't too good with the judgement and knocked both off the mirrors clean off. Instinct took over and I jumped the light just as my friend mentioned that there was a police van behind us at the lights.

Long story short, van followed us but I went through some alleys so lost him.

What will happen if they got my plate?
I know it's very minor but would be nice to know to settle my mind.

Cheers
Jan

Cheers for that, so what does that mean in terms of fines, points etc etc?

This a wind up or what?

[Robby]

Try to relax, then the penetration won't sting as much.

[Laura]

6 points for the lights. Not sure about running away from the police.

And you did ask what the worst would be...!

[headlamp]

Assuming this is not a wnid up I think you might have got away with it. If they had done a PNC check they will have gone to your house. The fact that they have not suggests that they aren't bothering or didn't get the number plate.

If they see you again and the driver of the car has made a complaint, expect a reckless driving charge, failure to stop and failure to report an accident.

Failure to stop on both counts, signal and for the Police.

If you are a new rider you could well have lost your license on the 6 point rule.

i went through a red light and only got 3 points??

[stryker]

If they did not use the siren, blues etc then I guess he'd not face running away from police, just red light and failing to stop/report an accident.

Running red light, failure to stop after an accident, possible dangerous driving (filtering when too narrow to fit), failure to stop for the police,. I'd say your quite fucked if they've got your plate and the running from them and making them do lots of work will have pissed them off quita lot.

Would expect 6+ points, big fine, don't think they'll give custodial sentence maybe probation or something.

You may get done for going through a red light. Depends on if it can be argued unsafe to stop?

As for failure to stop...

[Peat]

Just out of curiosity, what were your mirrors held on with? I crashed at 30-40 mph and both my mirrors stayed on... you been sticking things to your bike with blu-tac?

Thankyou all. I wouldn't normally have pegged it but it was just instinct.

[Bod]

lol you should not have ran, you could always say it was stolen?

[G]

An alibi might be a good thing around about now.

However, if you are going to report the bike 'stolen' you should have done it much nearer the time and got lots of other details sorted out.


Are you sure you actually nocked them off? Car mirros tend to be pretty good at the whole springy thing. I have very occasionaly nocked another vehicles mirrors; usually a Van on a trail bike, always stopped and waved sorry and not had a problem.

Running from the scene is kind of like someone that knocks your bike over while on the side stand and leaves it, not a very nice thing to happen to you.

Think you're probably just going to have to sit and wait; get a good solictor etc.
