tougher penalties

[Pathos]

I almost T-boned two cars the over day on the same road. They were turning into the right lane from the left hand side and drove halfway across the left hand lane before they looked in my direction and stopped. I was expecting it so nothing happened but drivers discard precautions to try get to work 5 minutes earlier.

Sorry, maybe I read this wrong. But you want someone to get done for failing to give way to someone using a vehicle that legally wasnt allowed to be on the road ?

I cant see the logic in that.

However, I agree with the intention of the post in that someone pulling a dangerous maneuver (eg failing to give way) should cop a penalty for it.

If the lack of a wof contributed to the crash then fair nuff. But if it was for (for example)a missing taillight, and the prang happens in braod daylight why should the rider be punished?

just got a call from the police asking for a statement. it was good to hear that the driver took full responsibility for the accident and is paying for towing and repair of the bike. the biker's leg got a thumbs up from a doctor aswell.
my hat goes off to him, he did damn well to stay up and keep control after a side impact.

I also am glad to hear the biker is ok.Just because he has no wof does not give him the right to throw the give way rule out the window (aleast he owned up to his shit)
People should look at those signs at intersections etc LOOK OUT FOR MOTORBIKES
