F#K my life. Another crash. I need your advice.

[James Deuce]

Bullshit sorry.

I provided an example as to where this can go wrong for you. I think calling it bullshit was more than a little harsh.

'' Decided not to stay in the line with car, i lanesplit from the right side (as been told on KB many time) straight to the front''.

This was your judgement error..

NOTE: my woof expired 20 days ago.

This however..........

[Crasherfromwayback]

You guys are funny.

No WoF = fucked.

What would you call your first response then? And anyway, I was saying Daves backing up your example was bullshit, as it is.

Just got slightly paranoid after a few posts here.... Will take a few chill pills tonight..

Just quietly... Has she admitted liability. She has said she will claim insurance but this doesn't automatically mean she will say she was at fault. She might be claiming insurance to have her car fixed an them leave it to them to chase you for $$$.

I suspect if you're not at fault that your description might need to be a little clearer if/when they come knocking cos at the moment there's some questions on particulars imo

[huff3r]

Those who state that the WoF is not an issue are correct, and anyone that makes it an issue you should certainly stand up to. As mentioned, the insurance ombudsman solved all these "it shouldnt be there" issues a long time ago, and now regardles of wether your vehicle should or shouldnt be on the road, others still have no right whatsoever to drive into it.

I would definitely recommend getting your own insurance, and if you talk nicely to them, since it's her insurance paying for it, they might even handle the administration of the claim for you .

Can't gaurantee that tho..

Oh, and get a WoF.

But for now listen to crasher and wotnot above, do as they suggest and you'll be sweet as

[Luckylegs]

... since it's her insurance paying for it...

as above you sure about that

hey, she didnt say much. But she said that she didnt see me and feel sorry for what shes done. I think i made a really massive fuk up by making an assumption here......

[Latte]

as above you sure about that

Going by what he's written, he was stopped at the red lights when the car behind him hit him.

Overtaking stationary traffic is acceptable on either the left or right so he's ok there (although I don't think that should come into play as that manuevre was finished at the time of the accident).

Of course there's nothing stopping them trying it on, trying to put the blame on him.

Oleg: if you're a young fullah get your folks involved, or someone willing to give up some time to make sure you don;t get bullied/flustered into what they want you to do. From your posts you sound unsure, and the insurance company will have a crack if they see an opening.

Yup, don't agree to anything you're not sure about till you've had a chance to think/discuss it.

All jokes aside i will get my shit together before talking to them.

Yep, but the post isn't entirely clear on where he was on the road in relation to her car, whether he was actually stopped etc etc. I could easily take from it, that he was moving in front of her when she moved. This would put his bike on an angle and explain the contact area... Anyway, I'm just saying. Make sure you very clear on the details.

Good idea re the olds or summat!

Yep, the same approach mrs nissan will likely have/be taking

[Ferkletastic]

Only mention the WOF if they bring it up, at which point you simply explain that the status of your warrent has no bearing on the loss at all.

The issue here is what contributed to the collision occuring.

The only time a rear impact is generally disputed liability wise is when the person in front has cut in front in an unsafe manner. If you've pulled around traffic then cut in front of her not leaving a reasonable gap, meaning that she could not reasonably have anticipated your arrival in front of her as she moved forward then yes they can hold you liable for the loss and you'll be shit out of luck.

Good plan Stan. What can be good (and what the insurance co would have you do) is draw a picture of the vehicles positions speeds and what have you prior to and at the time of impact. Sometimes this can be easier to do than try and describe it.
