Who has been involved in an accident?

[racefactory]

1. Who has crashed due own rider error? Also including speeding and not anticipating unforeseen road hazards.

2. Who has crashed at the fault of another road user?

3. Who hasn't had an accident?

If you are one of those types that has had heaps of offs, then vote for the option that describes the majority of your accidents.

Let's be honest and see how the stats stack up.

[yachtie10]

surely one can have had an accident where they were at fault
and another accident where someone else was at fault?

all my accidents were my own fault (no doctors needed or acc) except 1 where a car pulled out of a driveway and hit me (my fault was minimal but still there)

But I have had very near misses that would have been 99%+ another persons fault

and sorry for calling you shirley

Can we vote on behalf of dead people??

[Tink]

Can't answer any of those, was a pillion and came off... been in cars that have crashed, not driving.

So I guess I put I have a clean insurance claims record, touch wood!

Yeah, not sure about the best way to incorporate that into the poll.

[paturoa]

Where is the option for crash own fault and crash other's?

[Timmeh:P]

My crash was due to the fault of the engineer who designed the decreasing radius corner.... also the loose stones that were on the road and the bloody timber fence that popped out of nowhere... not mine!!!

[onearmedbandit]

All my accidents are solely attributable to Fortuna, Greek Goddess of Luck.

[rickstv]

I've had one slow speed crash that was clearly the cars fault for going through a give way sign and not seeing me.
But Katman would agree with me that had I been riding defensively, no crash would have occured.

Lets see now:

My first crash was due to another driver's carelessness. But had I been more aware and more experienced I could have avoided it.

My most serious road crash was due to mechanical failure. Not my fault, nor anyone elses.

One other minor accident was cuased by a blowout in the rear tyre. My fault for not replacing the tyre earlier.

Two minor incidents were due entirely to my lack of experience.

As only one of the above could be blamed on someone else, I have voted for "my fault" all the way.

Oh, all these happened in 1971 - 1976. And I haven't included the many (very many) off road and racing accidents which are almost all my own fault.

[Clivoris]

I ticked my fault. I should have realised my tyres were cold and the road surface was dodgy. Bloody roundabouts.

[p.dath]

Yeah, not sure about the best way to incorporate that into the poll.

Ask people to only vote on their most serious accident then.

[BJ250]

No accidents yet been riding 15 years come April..

[Matt Bleck]

Mine was due to unmarked gravel.....

[Katman]

So far 80% of the people who have had accidents are admitting to it being their fault.

So what the fuck are we doing about it?
