    In fact it's a WOF requirement that your bikes brakes can stop you in less than 7 metres from 30kph.

    If he braked to turn right he would have had to start indicating at least 3 seconds prior to performing the turn. Otherwise he is not observing the roadcode.

    It's your responsibility to keep a safe following distance. It would appear that you did not do that in this case.

    I can't see how you would be able to wiggle your way out of it - but shared fault may be an option if the car in front of you did not indicate properly.
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    That's exactly the reason you need to be able to stop in your visible space.No wonder people have prangs,they haven't got a bloody clue.

    Right, You lead by example then, Don't ever travel at a speed where you wouldn't be able to stop for an object appearing immediately in front of you.

    Good luck with that.

    Ehhh... whaaa? I have WOFed my bikes 6 times never did a braking test, EVER!

    Thats, the point, I made it a rule to subcontiously count in my brain and I was 3-4 seconds behind the bastard... That what pisses me off, and no he did not indicate, just skip-skidded (a little bit of black tread on the road is showing there and there) while he was turning to the right, ended up about 60-70` across the road when he finished the manuvre and I was performing mine.

    If the person inspecting your bike for a WOF doesn't perform a road test they shouldn't be issuing WOFs.

    Should have given up while you were ahead.

    Now you should at least learn from the incident so you don't repeat it. I could stop a truck in the amount of space your talking about.

    Huh?! I hope that you dont lie and that you are having a bad day too, otherwise I really do feel sorry for people around you... on the other hand if you did lie that must make you very good at what ever you do in life. Want to expand on the lying about braking distance plz...

    cheers!

    Err, i've never received a braking test either, just told to ride the bike forwards and then stop using each brake individually.. I assume just to test the brakes actually work.


    This burning at the stake is getting somewhat ridiculous, he's in a bad situation, give the guy a chance to vent.

    He fucked up, it happens. And he has a bill to pay ontop of it. No one gets the message straight away, that's why people always post after they've had time to reflect on what's happened and can actually see what happened.
