Basically 2 mins away from my front door step and an older driver pulls out from a junction when im basically right in front of him.
How the hell he didnt see me makes me boil!
Bike is so loud even the Fireman told me they heard the rumble before the bang.
Headlight is very bright with a Neon.
After swerving around the car in the middle of the road the bike slips on wet white lines and we go down on our side. The Mrs gets thrown about 2 meters away from me but my ankle got trapped under the bike!
But wasnt dragged luckily as i wasnt going fast at all.
After a few hours in hospital, the mrs is asthmatic and they got her breathing under control, didnt help with her being in so much shock as well.
Were both good but very very sore, lids and jackets done the job well.
Apart from my jeans and knee caps but thats expected.
Not glad but glad it happened right outside the local Fire Station, all the lads their heard the noise and came running out to help and looked after my Mrs very well with o2, blankets and all before the ambulance and police arrived. Great bunch of lads and i managed to thank them today for all their help.
They also have the Storm in their compound yard until it gets recovered tomorrow.
Has a butchers at the Storm today and alot of damage to the right side, nothing that cant be fixed with cheap parts of ebay but depends what the insurance co says.
Don't know if anyone has been in a similar incident and can offer a little advice tho.
As the Policeman said his just going to put it down as a simple accident as we didnt hit each other.
It was dusk at the time approx 6.30pm, the car only had side lights on and wasnt even indicating to turn right out from the junction.
I know the area so well as i've always lived here all my life and i know the stretch off road and always slow down to about 20mph as i've seen cars pull out of the same junction many times when i've been close.
I know i managed to slow down even slower 10/15mph but with the wet road it was simply unavoidable what was going to happen.
The car was out more or less to the white lines in the road where i just managed to miss the front of the car as i swerved over the white lines and this is when the front wheel just simply went and with my horror of oncoming traffic.
Instead of just leaving the car there, the driver reversed back into the junction just before the police arrived.
Now i have heard conflicting reports about accidents as i made anti avoidance manoeuvre?
But this was quoted to me today:
Cars emerging from a junction into the path of a motorcycle.
As a motorcyclist you are afforded specific protection by R. 187 of the Highway Code:
“It is often difficult to see motorcyclists and cyclists, especially when they are coming up from behind, coming out of junctions or roundabouts†Always look out for them when you are emerging from a junctionâ€.
Fault nearly always lies with the emerging motorist in these type of claims, unless the motorcyclist on the major road is speeding or overtaking a line of stationary traffic when contributory negligence usually falls
anywhere between 50% – 80%.
Another fault may also lay with the Council as at this junction the white stop lines at the junction are not printed in the road since the road surface was re-tarmacked approx 6 months ago or more?
Another annoying point is as i was being checked out by the ambulance crew i didnt have a chance to grab the drivers details and the Policeman in charge told me that he had recorded all details for me and i can simply visit the station the next day where he will write up the report and simply gave me a crime ref on a card.
On visiting the police station today for details, the report has not been written up as i was told it was a busy night and officer in charge is due to go on holidays for 2 weeks!
Doenst get any better! lol.
Anyone have any other advice?
Thanks peeps and when the bike is recovered tomorrow will take come snaps.
P.S. Sorry for the long rant.
Hope your both ok and you get ya bike sorted out
