Didn't have a chance!

I was assuming the rules would be the same for most countries (except for the colour of the lines).

That's a very dangerous assumption . and leads to accidents ..

I think unfortunately this accident, choosing to ride a motorbike as your form of transport/pleasure you have to accept that this could happen to you.
I think it is out of ones control on how people will drive and the decisions they make at the time stupid or not, there can be so many 'numpties' out there.

Naaa .. like this .."I think unfortunately this accident, choosing to be on the road you have to accept that this could happen to you."

It could have just as easily been a car coming the other way - and then there definately would have been a different end. The bike rider slides down the road and away from the car while his bike hits the front ... if it had been a car coming it would have been a head-on collission ...

Car Driver = Fool!

Sure there is an arguement that the moped pulled out but, unless the car driver was actually gonna wipe the moped out, he should've just hung back until he could see the road ahead.

Well thats one way of looking at it. In this type accident I would sooner have been in a car, it seems a little more equal in protection.

Methinks you're in the wrong thread there Max.

Oops. Too many tabs open. Hell of a coincidence though - I thought I was here.
