    Were you trying to merge back into the line of traffic?

    Ok, now im under pressure.
    Evening sir.
    story: Traffic at stand still. I passed the traffic on the right, got slightly on the right of nissan, but clearly in front of her. Been there at full stop for 3-4 seconds, with both of my legs down, as practicing for restricted. So short answer is no, i was in the same lane with her at the time of accident.

    how far to hte left had you pulled once past her? In front of her right wheel, or the centre of her bonnet, or half way between those two?

    So all traffic had been stopped for several seconds and she was behind you in the same lane. She set off from a standstill before the traffic started moving and drove into you, knocking you over.

    Then you both pulled over and stopped at the side of the road and she said 'Sorry, I didn't see you'.

    She was at fault. And then she admitted it.

    So if you do ring WestPac, I'd suggest that you mention that she said she didn't see you and apologised for taking you out.

    The only WOF relevant item here would be if your lights weren't working. Are they working now?

    BTW - I do not know if you stopped somewhere sensible and you may want to think about that while your bike is being repaired (hopefully at her cost).

    So how come she hit you on your left side instead of your rear?

    Point of contact is just off the tail light. Me being slightly on the angle from weaving back in. I know that my mistake was not getting right in front of her. Even following the guideline - i should be at the spot where the right wheel of the car supposed to be. and that was my precise location.

    Was that because there wasn't room for you to fit between her and the car in front of her?

    So are you saying she started moving even though the lights were still red?

    That is correct sir. 100% sure, because i was looking at the traffic lights at the moment of impact.

    This is the way I understand it as well, without a WOF or Reg your vehical is illegally on the road, no insurance and her insurance can sue you for the damages on her vehical.

    My advice....walk away while you can and learn the lesson...actually there's about 5 to be learnt from this incident.
