Legal help needed from lane splitting accident

[sinned]

Bikers are forced to ride to expect any situation and react accordingly because they dont have as much protection, why should it be any different just because cage drivers most likely won't get injured if they have a minor accident? Bikers have to ride cautiously, the driver should have been cautious and expected the worst

How do you know the cage driver wasn't being cautious? Picture this - the cage driver can see the bus in the nearest lane and a car in the next, both drivers have left a gap and have probably indicated (wave, nod, look, etc) that they will wait for you the driver to cross in front, you move into the gap and as you pass the bus a motorcyclists helmet appears in the rear window. As the bus would have been obstructing your view of the gap between bus and car you would not have seen a bike filtering through and even if your speed was just 5km/hr you would have entered the path of the bike prior to viewing it. It seems to me the cops made the right decision.

I think this is worth fighting - might be able to get a positive outcome still. Write into the police infringements beaureau and tell them you think they're full of shit yada yada. Their first response will be "na, we're right fool". After that, request every piece of information they have that led them to make this ruling under the privacy act. This will show them you're serious. Pays to have a well worded letter.

Worked for me.

Maybe based on stupidity, but not on law.
