Thank you. So do I.

Thank you. I will do.

Hello, I rang the police last week as the motorcyclist did not pass on his details at the time. The police advised that my insurers should be perusing if the motorcyclist has a licence/CBT. I contacted my insurers on Friday. Thank you for your help.

Hello renegadeimp, The check only shows the bike is insured by a third party insurance. Not specifically to the motorcyclist. I suppose any of the employees could use any of the company’s bikes. Thank you.

Thank you. I have checked the website an the bike is insured, as it is owned by the take away chain. The question really is the motorcylist himself insured? I have contacted me insurers to ask. Thanks again all for your help. This is reassuring.

Another lead to chase. Thank you.

Hello, The bike belongs to the take away chain. I have rang the police for advice and they have said I will need to contact my insurers to ask them to check for his insurance details. Honestly - he did not understand the road set up. But surely my insurers would have checked this first with the other party, before proceeding?

Ok thank you.

Hello, The young learner is of Indian origin and does not speak English very well. Thank you.

Hello Never shay die, I am not sure who the other party’s solicitors are butI hear they are very aggressive. This happened in South London. My solicitors are Brown Sword. Thank you for the reassurance and all! I could just do without going to court. Thanks you all.

Ok thank you UncleBulgaria67.

Hello Rebel11, Thank you for the advice. I have checked the local authority website and unfortunately there are no cctv cameras on this road. It was worth a shot though! Thank you.

Hello. Thank you. With all the holes in the claimants story he could still win? Would these details not go against him in court? My insurers wanted to split the claim but don't see why I should suffer financially in the long run for his payment.

Hello thank you. I did not realise I was able to demand his insurance details from the police. If I do would this be interfering with my case? Otherwise I will be taking his claim letter for injuries to the station tomorrow which gives his full address.

Hello, thank you for all responses. Yes I agree with regards to the witness statement. Sounds very suss to me. I will soon find out as my insurers is chasing.

Hello, I wonder if someone can (urgently) help please... I have been accused of hitting a motor cyclist off his bike whilst turning right on a busy road..Here is actually what had happened. I was coming out of a side road onto a busy road, turning right. To my right was a set of traffic lights. I had drove out onto a clear road, up to the white line and was stationary position for at least one minute and noticed a car and a motorcyclist coming towards me to my right. The traffic moved forward in the direction of my intended travel, the car to my left and right, (driver to my right flashed to acknowledge me) car to the left let me through (by waving/flashing). The motorcyclist had stopped on my right. I acknowledged both drivers and proceeded to moved off around 5mph. As I moved, the young leaner motorcyclist to my right, decided that the gap was his opportunity to move around the front of my vehicle on the wrong side of the road in the opposite direction of his travel. As I moved forward, the so called “collision” happened, as the motorcyclist dangerously manoeuvred around the front of my vehicle. He lost balance and his bike fell onto his leg. There was no damage to my car. I stopped and gave my name and address and insurance details. He only gave me his full name and no insurance details. I repeatedly asked him check for injuries which he refused. I also offered to call the police and to take him to hospital, both of which he refused. On speaking with the claimant, a few questions were raised as to whether he holds a full license as he was not aware of the road set up i.e. moving out from a side road onto a busy road with traffic lights. Photographic evidence was taken at the time of the accident and it shows his bike on the wrong side of the road. I have learnt from my insurers, that the young learner had changed his story on three occasions with his insurers, where he said I ran a green traffic light? (if this was the case, I had right of way) and has finally admitted the direction of travel, as I gave in my original statement. The witness in the car to the right provided his details to the claimant, the claimant refused to pass these on. He also did not give these details to his insurers. After three months a witness has come forward and said that I moved out the road and knocked him straight off his bike, which has sent alarm bells ringing as I this was not the case. My solicitors are now chasing this lead. I have not admitted liability as this was not my fault and I have been driving for 15 years with ten years no claims. If this was I would not be wasting my insurers/solicitors time. And I am not claiming any damages. The problem here is the young learner works for a very large take away company who I hear has aggressive solicitors. I am being set up for an insurance claim for the wrong reasons as the young lad is looking for a payout. My insurers have said this could go to court, which I have pushed for, (ideally would not like to attend) but I am wondering: i) how far this can go, before I have to go to court? ii) with all the false details and a bogus claim, have I already lost against a large take away company? iii)Will I lose my no claims? My insurers solicitors are to ring me tomorrow to take a statement.I hope someone can kindly help with advice and set my mind at rest and stop my sleepless nights. Thank you.
