Premium Member wessie Posted March 3, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted March 3, 2015 Had a pleasant bimble around my local roads in the Cotswolds. Bike is lovely. It was rather cool on top of the hill at Birdlip despite the sunshine. The first fill up At the Birdlip viewpoint - bloody freezing up here This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

Premium Member ULEWZ Posted March 4, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted March 4, 2015 That roundabout looks confusing to me. Whom has the right away, the car from the left or your bike? Looks like you both have the right away. Glad is was nothing more than a glancing blow. You were paying attention, the car was not.

scuff Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Glad you are ok, sorry about the bike. Excellent evidence to prosecute the driver of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad is was nothing more than a glancing blow. You were paying attention, the car was not. in UK, and also in any other European country, you give way to traffic coming from your right. In this case I was coming from her right, so she should let me pass. I was on roundabout already, so she should have let me go anyway. This happened here - http://goo.gl/nI30gK I was coming from Dancers Hill rd and was crossing A1081 to join Trotters bottom ( yeah I know!!). She was joining that roundabout from South on A1081. I checked streetview from that place and I have no idea why she didn't see me. There is not a single thing which obscure the view. I got call from her Insurance company and she admitted full responsibility for this collision. Happy days...but it will leave stigma on the bike ( category mark) and my insurance record ( in UK insurance companies require to disclose if you were involved in any accident regardless of the fault and they up your premium if you were!!)

magpie Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I would like to bet she was not concenting There are thousands of people texting checking Facebook and reading emails on there phones while driving be warned!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member wessie Posted March 4, 2015 Author Premium Member Share Posted March 4, 2015 Glad you are okay Tecman but despite you not being at fault you are going to make the insurers think the Tracer is a risky bike Please don't get punted off again as I don't want my premiums upped This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

steve Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Seems like she was already in M25/A1M mode, although in the latter case same rules would apply :-[ I know the insurance companies are law unto themselves, but I'd like to think the actuaries wouldn't load risk for non fault accidents, in particular, to a bike model - but then we know they seem to make things up as they go along. The problem for tecman77 is the renewal quote might not as pleasing :-S When I give my post code the lights go out at the brokers and sets the fire alarm off - in-spite of having my license for (a few weeks shy of) 40 years and 15+ years NCB, I am paying considerably more than others - a fact not helped by the riots we had a few years ago (zzz) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny69 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Very interesting to me. In Germany mostly the traffic which is is driving in the roundabout has right of way. The roundabout is signed with a traffic sign "Roundabout" at all roads, witch come into it. Only roundabouts which do not have that traffic sign have the rule "right before left" (could I say it this way in English :-)? I think you know what I mean ;-).
